Organized around three major themes: Literacy Programs, Policies and Curriculum; Language of Instruction Policies and Practices and Engaging in Global Literacies, chapter authors reimagine global approaches that respect the histories, ways of knowing, needs, hopes and values of voices beyond the western, including those from the Global South: Asia, Africa, Oceania, and South and Central Americas. Each chapter outlines research the chapter authors are conducting or have conducted and describes implications for how their work utilizes tenets of global meaning making.
