Hughes, University of Georgia Mel Kutner, University of Georgia Abstract In this article we explore how educational researchers report empirical qualitative research about young people’s social media use. We frame the overall study with an understanding that social media sites contribute to the production of neoliberal subjects, and we draw on Foucauldian discourse theories and the understanding that how researchers explain topics and concepts produces particular ways of thinking about the world while excluding others.

  • ON the VALUE of INTEGRATING YOUTH CULTURE INTO LITERACY THEORY Elizabeth Birr Moje College of Education University of Michigan
    97 BUT WHERE ARE THE YOUTH? ON THE VALUE OF INTEGRATING YOUTH CULTURE INTO LITERACY THEORY Elizabeth Birr Moje College of Education University of Michigan “Literacy is at the heart of world development and human rights,” writes Federico Mayor in the opening line of his foreword to Literacy: An International Handbook.’ Although this quote comes from only one of the texts from which this essay builds, it could actually be the opening line of any of the three books: Literacy as a Moral Imperative, Literacy for the Twenty-First Century, and Literacy: An International Handbook2The authors of each text state clearly their belief in the power and promise of literacy even while they acknowledge the potential problem of literacy crusades, as Daniel Wagner does in his introduction to The Handbook: Whether in the efforts of one religious tradition to dominate another or in revolutionary times for one political group to use literacy to break the mold with a past regime, literacy has at times been used or invoked as a way to &vide, separate, and rule from a position of power. Literate traditions have also brought diverse ethnic groups together in common pursuits for mutual benefit. Thus, like all humanendeavors, literacy often mirrors what is best (andworst) in human society (HA, 1-8). Although each of the three texts represents different philosophical perspectives on literacy and different theoretical and research methods for examining literacy, the texts share several basic assumptions. First, each text assumes that prowess with some form of literacy is a necessity for access to material resources, for political power, and for agency in social interaction.
