Compelling and highly engaging, this text shows teachers at all levels how to do critical literacy in the classroom and provides models for practice that can be adapted to any context. Integrating social theory and classroom practice, it brings critical literacy to life as a socio-cultural orientation to the teaching of literacy that takes seriously the relationship between language and power and orients readers to the social effects of texts. Students and teachers are drawn into the key questions critical readers need to pose of texts: Whose interests are served, who benefits, who is disadvantaged; who is included and who is excluded? The practical activities help readers grasp complex issues.Extending the theoretical framework in Hilary Janks’ Literacy and Power with a rich range of completely new, up-to-date activities that translate theory into practice, Doing Critical Literacy is powerful, relevant, and useful for both pre- and in-service teacher education and for use in schools.

Hilary Janks addresses key questions about literacy and power in this landmark text that is both engaging and accessible.Her central argument is that competing orientations to critical literacy education − domination (power), access, diversity, design − foreground one over the other, but are crucially interdependent and need to work together to create possibilities for redesign and social action that serve a social justice agenda. She examines the theory underpinning each orientation, and develops new theory in the argument for interdependence and integration.Sitting at the interface between theory and practice, constantly moving from one to the other, the text is rich with examples of how to use these orientations in real teaching contexts, and how to use them to counterbalance one another. In the groundbreaking final chapter Janks considers how the rationalist underpinning of critical literacy tends to exclude the non-rational shows ways of working ‘beyond reason’ − pleasure and play, desire and the unconscious − and makes the case that these need to be taken seriously given their power to cut across the work of critical literacy educators working from any orientation.

Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary.This cutting-edge Research Agenda offers a way forward for critical literacies that takes into account current conditions of possibility. Expert contributing authors showcase innovative research that emphasises the importance of language, multimodality, place and suppressed knowledges.A Research Agenda for Critical Literacy outlines contemporary challenges faced by the field including a changing world order, the rise of right-wing extremism, climate change, and the changing role of social media and AI. Chapters highlight critical literacy’s dynamic and malleable nature, re-imagining influential frameworks and exploring new possibilities for practice. Considering also shifts in applied linguistics and the imperatives of the decolonial project, authors assess the implications of posthumanism, new materialism and the ontological turn for re-thinking language, discourse and critical literacies and advocate for re-imagining practice in order to meet modern society’s needs.Interspersed with analytical commentary, A Research Agenda for Critical Literacy is a vital resource for students and scholars in education, particularly those interested in language, literacies, content literacies and discourse in relation to issues of identity, power and social and ecological justice. It is also an enlightening read for educators and researchers seeking to understand the ontological turn, posthumanism, new materialisms and decolonial theory in relation to pedagogy.
