Title: Hybridity, globalization and literacy education in the context of NYC's Chinatown
Author/Creator: Albright, James; Purohit, Kiran D.; Walsh, Christopher S.
Description: Although multiliteracies have been well theorised in recent years, few studies have researched the practical aspects of developing a curriculum of multiliteracies. This article examines multiliteracies as a crossdisciplinary curriculum practice, drawing on data from a 3-year study in an urban middle school. The data show possibilities for students to engage in critique and to move toward designing multimodal texts. Using Bourdieusian concepts of social capital and academic field, we explore the struggles around learning to inhabit certain school discourses.
