Studying Literacy
Organized by and for graduate students campus-wide

The Interdisciplinary Seminar in Literacy Studies for Graduate Students, or GradSem as it has come to be known, formed in 2005. The group includes students at every stage of study from across the University. They meet monthly for lunch, provided by LiteracyStudies@OSU, and a student-organized program and discussion.

The meeting on Friday, Sept. 11 focuses on the study of literacy. We take as a starting place the idea that literacy is a process that involves creating, conveying, and comprehending meaning, typically by means of a notational system. The study of literacy holds the promise of improving the flow, access to, and understanding of all kinds of information; improving communication across different domains and language groups; and improving teaching and learning in all areas and contexts. 

Participation in the GradSem is open to all students with an interest in literacy. Contact Michael Harwick.
