ABSTRACT
Area 2, framed as critical literacies across space, surveys critical literacy research from around the globe. The intent is to build on, decenter, and challenge the “foundational” theory and practice of the field, which is greatly concentrated in Anglophone countries. It is meant to be an initial foray into such transnational work, rather than exhaustive. The area is structured in two sub-sections: individual countries/colonies (2.1–2.15) followed by geographic regions or groups of countries (2.16–2.22), organized alphabetically within each to avoid any hierarchy, intended or unintended.
