Critical digital literacies: What next?

Overview: The workshop will focus on the practice of developing critical digital and data literacies (for self/students/faculty/staff, as required). The workshop will include two different Liberating Structures activities to invite and support participants to explore developing critical literacies in different ways (all grounded in each participant’s own perspective and context): what I care about; challenges I face; goals for my own practice and for collaborative practice; and hopes/intentions for the future.

Activities: After summarizing the main points from the keynote, as well as issues raised in the keynote discussion and Q+A, the workshop will begin with a Spiral Journaling activity, encouraging participants to reflect on their cares, challenges, hopes and goals. Following this, a Conversation Café activity will encourage participants to engage with one another to discuss ways forward, with a particular focus on collaborating to help develop critical digital and data literacies.
