Publishing in the Margins: A Transnational Investigation of Arts-Rich Bookmaking for Multilingual Literacy Development
In November this year, Julie and I travelled to San Marcos, Texas to meet and participate in a knowledge exchange with Professor Jesse Gainer. This trip was funded by the Dyason Fellowship to support the development of international research collaborations. Our shared focus with Professor Gainer on bookmaking with marginalised children and communities prompted this connection. During our time in San Marcos, Julie and I were honoured to be able to attend the Tomás Rivera Mexican American Children’s Book Awards hosted by the College of Education at Texas State University. Nancy Valdez-Gainer, Jesse’s wife and fellow academic at TSU is the organiser of the awards and generously invited us to attend during our time at TSU.

The National Council of Teachers of English Conference 2024
It wasn’t an easy trek to Boston to join the NCTE conference but it was well worth it as learned so much from the amazing sessions and the many talks held in exhibition hall that we could bring back to our work in Australia. Topics on translanguaging, picture books, writing pedagogies, AI - my goodness, I felt like it was a conference made specifically for me and I was in translingual picture book heaven! Attending as many sessions as humanly possible, I’ve come back really inspired to think more about Critical Literacy.

Developing Critical Multilingual Language Awareness Through Language Becomings
At a recent webinar for the National Institute of Education Singapore's English Language & Literature Department, I discussed the crucial transition needed in Critical Multilingual Language Awareness (CMLA) from theoretical frameworks to evidence-based classroom practices. Drawing on insights from my teaching and research, including work from my PhD student Melissa Slamet, I explored how we can develop CMLA effectively in teacher education. The talk centered on addressing the gap identified by Van Gorp & De Costa - the need to move from theoretical understanding to concrete classroom strategies.
