Course Catalog Description:
Literacy and American Cultural Diversity combines academic study with experiential learning in order to collectively build more engaged, more complex understandings of literacy, educational institutions, counter-institutional literacy programs, the grassroots and nonprofit sectors, and the struggles of a multicultural civil society in a putative democracy. We will ground our inquiry in government studies, as well as sociological, historical, and educational writings. Standard literature, such as a memoir, a selection of poems, some short fiction, and a novel will further open up our twin themes of literacy and multiculturalism - as will less "official" literature, such as manifestos and the transcribed stories of immigrants, refugees, and other marginalized communities. We begin with the basic understanding of literacy as reading and writing, noting that, according to the National Survey of Adult Literacy, 46% of Americans scored in the lowest two levels of a five-tiered literacy test. What does this mean? Are such tests accurate or otherwise helpful? What about your basic literacy? As you read this syllabus, you're making use of basic abilities that you've likely been practicing most of your life through formal schooling, daily routines, recreational pursuits, and work-related duties. But there's more. On another level, you bring knowledge to your reading (some conscious, some unconscious), and the ideological field supplies you with assumptions about the role of literacy in your development, the role of a university course in your plans for your personal and professional life, and your position in a society that constantly raises the standards of literacy, basing success on your ability to keep up. Thus the very word "literacy" calls into play many beliefs we have about our class system, our cultural life, economic and political structures, and educational institutions. Accordingly, our analysis will move beyond basic "reading and writing" to wider concepts of
Class Notes:
Students will complete a Practicum as literacy workers, working two hours a week outside of regularly scheduled classes, and an orientation and training seminar to assist them in this work.
Class Description:
Do you care about public schools and adult basic education? Are you worried that excessive standardized testing is turning students into zombies while turning testing company CEOs into billionaires? Not convinced that "multiculturalism" is the best response to institutional racism? Tired of too much reading and too little taking action? Want to meet other students and community members who care? You'll be in good company in this class. "Literacy and American Cultural Diversity" combines academic study with experiential learning in order to build more engaged and more critical understandings of literacy, education, multiculturalism, and social justice. Our readings --not only literature, but government studies, as well as sociological, philosophical, and educational writings -- will provide a theoretical basis for our inquiries by contrasting institutionally dominant discourses of functional literacy (education as meritocracy training) with alternative literacies that seek to dismantle social injustices. As we explore the convergence and divergence between theory and practice, students will work for two hours a week at a participating community organization (K-12 or adult English Language Learning programs).

Students will complete a Practicum as literacy workers, working two hours a week outside of regularly scheduled classes, and an orientation and training seminar to assist them in this work. This course will meet in a hybrid format. Some meetings will be held in-person (if it is safe to do so and after consulting with students) and others will be held synchronously online, both at the scheduled meeting time. Due to the pandemic, many of our community partners are offering virtual / no-contact community-engaged learning opportunities so that you can participate safely from your own homes. For those who prefer to do their community-engaged learning in person, our community partners have safety guidelines that meet with the University's approval.

Course Catalog Description:
Literacy and American Cultural Diversity combines academic study with experiential learning in order to collectively build more engaged, more complex understandings of literacy, educational institutions, counter-institutional literacy programs, the grassroots and nonprofit sectors, and the struggles of a multicultural civil society in a putative democracy. We will ground our inquiry in government studies, as well as sociological, historical, and educational writings. Standard literature, such as a memoir, a selection of poems, some short fiction, and a novel will further open up our twin themes of literacy and multiculturalism - as will less "official" literature, such as manifestos and the transcribed stories of immigrants, refugees, and other marginalized communities. We begin with the basic understanding of literacy as reading and writing, noting that, according to the National Survey of Adult Literacy, 46% of Americans scored in the lowest two levels of a five-tiered literacy test. What does this mean? Are such tests accurate or otherwise helpful? What about your basic literacy? As you read this syllabus, you're making use of basic abilities that you've likely been practicing most of your life through formal schooling, daily routines, recreational pursuits, and work-related duties. But there's more. On another level, you bring knowledge to your reading (some conscious, some unconscious), and the ideological field supplies you with assumptions about the role of literacy in your development, the role of a university course in your plans for your personal and professional life, and your position in a society that constantly raises the standards of literacy, basing success on your ability to keep up. Thus the very word "literacy" calls into play many beliefs we have about our class system, our cultural life, economic and political structures, and educational institutions. Accordingly, our analysis will move beyond basic "reading and writing" to wider concepts of

Class Description:
Do you care about public schools and adult basic education? Are you worried that excessive standardized testing is turning students into zombies while turning testing company CEOs into billionaires? Not convinced that "multiculturalism" is the best response to institutional racism? Tired of too much reading and too little taking action? Want to meet other students and community members who care? You'll be in good company in this class. "Literacy and American Cultural Diversity" combines academic study with experiential learning in order to build more engaged and more critical understandings of literacy, education, multiculturalism, and social justice. Our readings --not only literature, but government studies, as well as sociological, philosophical, and educational writings -- will provide a theoretical basis for our inquiries by contrasting institutionally dominant discourses of functional literacy (education as meritocracy training) with alternative literacies that seek to dismantle social injustices. As we explore the convergence and divergence between theory and practice, students will work for two hours a week at a participating community organization (K-12 or adult English Language Learning programs).

As we explore the convergence and divergence between theory and practice, students will work for two hours a week at a participating community organization (K-12 or adult English Language Learning programs). At all points, the course supports students in thinking through questions of ethics and social justice, and in creating social change through their involvement in community literacy activities. This course fulfills the "Diversity and Social Justice" theme.

Class Description:
Do you care about public schools and adult basic education? Are you worried that excessive standardized testing is turning students into zombies while turning testing company CEOs into billionaires? Not convinced that "multiculturalism" is the best response to institutional racism? Tired of too much reading and too little taking action? Want to me other students and community members who care? Then this is the course for you.

Class Description:
Students will serve as literacy workers for 2 hours a week outside of class at participating organizations in the nonprofit and educational sectors. This class combines academic study with experiential learning in order to collectively build a more engaged, complex understanding of the functions of literature, literacy, educational institutions, counter-institutional literacy programs, and the different cultures and communities in Minnesota and the Americas in general. We'll explore questions of "praxis," considering and applying our readings to the concrete circumstances of our community work, at all points trying to "make the connection" between our classroom and community work. In asking what literacy really means and what it means to be "democratic educators" in both spheres, we will challenge the distinction between classroom and community as an artifact of the modern research university. Reading: literary texts, sociological and educational theory, literacy studies. 2 papers, 2 presentations.
