"Contradictions, clashes, cominglings…tensions and richness":
 An Exploration of Syncretic Literacy
 
This presentation will explore the "contradictions, clashes,
cominglings…tensions and richness" in syncretism and syncretic literacy,
examining the history of the concepts, their current use in educational
research, critiques, and Syncretic Literacy Studies. Examples of syncretic
literacy artifacts co-constructed in bilingual, cross-cultural settings by
children and family members will be used to illustrate the concepts being
explored and the relevance of language ideologies. The audience will be
invited to
participate in discussing theoretical extensions and pedagogical
applications of the concepts.

include the languages and literacies of young bilingual children, family
involvement in young children's learning with a special interest in sibling
teaching, and culturally responsive pedagogy. She is now conducting a study
of children in an ESL (English as a Second Language) first grade and their
