ABSTRACT
Literacy in the Treaders’ lives is paradoxical. Simply stated, literacy is not what it seems or promises to be. In this final chapter, I draw together why -the interpretation and analysis I have presented thus far may be considered a trustworthy reading of the Treaders’ literate lives, I use the CSE meeting presented in chapter 6 as a frame of reference to draw together the points made thus far. I have chosen this formal meeting as a reference point because many of the issues running through this book-literate subjectivities, discursive practices, and social structures-intersect during this meeting. June’s participation in this meeting illustrates the complexity of her social and literate lives and how these positions influenced Vicky’s participation within the same institutions.
