- This 64,000-word, multi-authored book presents twelve original studies (2011-2019), led by Pahl with collaborating researchers Pool and Rasool. The book explores a shared original lens, by Pahl and Rowsell (50:50) of literacy as a set of optics: seeing, disruption, hoping, knowing, creating and making, whereby literacy becomes active, as a verb. Original theoretical work is developed in the chapters authored by Pahl and Rasool, describing literacies of resistance, and in the chapters authored by Pahl, Rasool and Pool, presenting new theoretical accounts of hopeful literacies and the literacy event as a creative act, drawing on collaborative ethnography and arts practice.
