You managed to get at some very salient tennets of critical litearcy in less than five minutes...quite a feat! You make an important distinciton between critical skills and critical literacy which many find difficult to do. Your depiction of CL as a meeting ground is also very interesting along with the powerful statements you make regarding CL as a tool for examining discourses of meaning. Your final analysis of CL as a way to look closely at and disrupt discourses of power is a key tennet along with valuing multiple perspectives. Your comment regarding CL as a way of taking up issues of social justice for the purpose of taking social action toward social change pulls together your podcast with quite a punch! Thanks Much vivian Erin, listening to your podcast was like taking a journey with you as you found ways of framing your thinking and questions from a critial literacy perspective.
