Navigating the chasm between communities / social activism and academic institutions is not for the faint of heart. It's disheartening to hear and feel that teaching work is less important than the ability to produce statistics and train students to pass tests. Sadly, this quote stood out because of how well I could related to this feeling.

“...cosmopolitan approaches to literacy draw from, and in a sense expand, notions of critical literacy. 
While critical literacy addresses issues of local social inequality/injustice and their consequences, a cosmopolitan perspective on critical literacy focuses on global human rights and the ramications of actions in one part of the world resonating throughout the globe .” 
(Bean & Dunkerly-Bean, 2015, p. 48

(p. 153).

Yes, yes, yes!!! This directly connects to my research and my students' experiences (not just students of color, but all marginalized students). Literacy instruction is meaningless if it is not connected to students' lived experiences and advocacy efforts; and in many ways, as a literacy educator and civic engagement advocate, my goal is to create "a learning community dedicated to the civic engagement of urban students...through critical literacy practices" that can lead to better student outcomes, empowerment, empathy, and agency.

Cosmopolitanism in ethnography and anthropology: "...reposition our analytical gaze toward observable practices as well as fleeting moments of belonging that, if given notice and a place to be seen, may flourish and be nurtured" (Vasudevan, 2014, p. 50).

Cosmopolitan citizenship: "Belonging is a precursor to citizenship" and are "starting points rather than an award to be earned or a benchmark to be reached" Vasudevan, 2014, p. 52).

Cosmopolitan literacy, as defined by Hull and Stornaiuolo (2014) “foregrounds the rhetorical stances and ethical commitments involved in communicating across difference—the cognitive, emotional, ethical, and aesthetic meaning-making capacities and practices of authors and audiences as they take differently situated others into account.” 

Media and communication studies and proper distance: “...distance is not just a material, a geographical or even a social category, but it is, by virtue of both and as a product of their interrelation, a moral category. The overcoming of distance requires more than technology and indeed more than the creation of a public sphere. It requires proximity” (Silverstone, 2003).

Social theory: “an increasing awareness of the validity of different cultural practices and values” and, perhaps, empathy for those individuals with different “values, practices, and beliefs” (Hull and Stornaiuolo, 2014).  ]]> 2017-05-19 14:15:08 UTC https://padlet.com/koreamaria1/week2cosmap/wish/172812503 Connections to my research: afields142 https://padlet.com/koreamaria1/week2cosmap/wish/172822202 "Perhaps that is where we must look to find our own pedagogy of acompanamiento, where students on the margins can engage and speak with passion and authority" (Sepulveda, 2011, p. 569).

I hads not thought about bringing accompaniment into my research project; however, I think service learning and accompaniment are linked in many ways.  I am going to consider adding this into my lit review or discussion.

"We may not have to choose between being practitioners, researchers, activists, or cultural beings; all aspects of our selves potentially exist in a synergistic relationship to help inform our understandings of literacy research, practice, and advocacy" (Simon et al., 2012, p. 20-21).

This is such an important point for research-practitioners. I find that now that I have stopped trying to be "the objective educator", I am much more effective in my teaching!]]> 2017-05-19 14:51:00 UTC https://padlet.com/koreamaria1/week2cosmap/wish/172822202 koreamaria1 https://padlet.com/koreamaria1/week2cosmap/wish/172895882 2017-05-20 00:15:21 UTC https://padlet.com/koreamaria1/week2cosmap/wish/172895882 Go Red Birds koreamaria1 https://padlet.com/koreamaria1/week2cosmap/wish/172895916 2017-05-20 00:16:13 UTC https://padlet.com/koreamaria1/week2cosmap/wish/172895916 Red Bird Lyrics koreamaria1 https://padlet.com/koreamaria1/week2cosmap/wish/172895958 http://people.wku.edu/charles.smith/MALVINA/mr141.htm]]> 2017-05-20 00:17:20 UTC https://padlet.com/koreamaria1/week2cosmap/wish/172895958 Cosmopolitanism as a tool for Social Justice afields142 https://padlet.com/koreamaria1/week2cosmap/wish/172918239 "...a humane, meaningful life subsumes not only an individual and internal gaze on one's life, but also the understandings and dispositions that lead to external actions and engagements, in a spirit of openness and inquiry, to collaboratively and proactively create more just and equitable living conditions" (Hawkins, 2014, p. 98).

"Was (2008), for example, argues for an expansion of communication among individuals, schools, and communities in order to cultivate a cosmopolitan-minded sense of responsibility.  The school can therefore play a valuable switchboard role in connecting immigrant learners with the community" (DeCosta, 2014, p. 26).

"Cosmopolitanism as an effect of globalisation acknowledges the accelerated movement of people, ideas, images, information, goods and capital in important ways that deserve our research attention to create conditions in schools that promote open, creative minds" (Bean & Dunkerly-Bean, 2015, p. 52).]]> 2017-05-20 11:55:40 UTC https://padlet.com/koreamaria1/week2cosmap/wish/172918239 Something for all of us to consider in advocating for a cosmopolitan framework within the current political climate: afields142 https://padlet.com/koreamaria1/week2cosmap/wish/172919654 2017-05-20 12:24:21 UTC https://padlet.com/koreamaria1/week2cosmap/wish/172919654 Expanding conceptions of adolescent literacy research and practice: Cosmopolitan theory in educational contexts -- Bean & Dunkerly-Bean lajboyle https://padlet.com/koreamaria1/week2cosmap/wish/172942236 Cosmopolitanism may sound very modern, perhaps fashionable, but it is neither. 
Why do we treat it as such? I feel that this comment is spot on. Often when things are perceived as new or modern, they are also given less trust or capital. How can we lead people realize that it is a neither a new nor untested concept? How can we give it more capital so that research related to cosmopolitanism is better understood and utilized in the classroom?

H&S because of their richly exampled writing of proper distance in multimodality. Hawkins because she helps to position me into the pic big historically about how CL is rolling. Nygreen both with a short article on activism and identity as well as her book we read last semester, help me to see how CL is positioned in LCLE.

And we have to understand, of course, that in such cases there is no prix fixe, no singular, and no permanent. Neither can proper distance, like everything else that is meaningful in social life, be taken for granted nor is it pregiven. It has to be worked for. It has to be produced.” (Silverstone pp. 475–476) (via Hull & Stornaiuolo p20)]]> 2017-05-21 02:21:00 UTC https://padlet.com/koreamaria1/week2cosmap/wish/172952022 Hawkins' Harkening koreamaria1 https://padlet.com/koreamaria1/week2cosmap/wish/172952052 This helps me to keep it real when I get to into design what I think CL is instead of being curious and 'reading' what is being presented and performed.]]> 2017-05-21 02:22:31 UTC https://padlet.com/koreamaria1/week2cosmap/wish/172952052 Derrida koreamaria1 https://padlet.com/koreamaria1/week2cosmap/wish/172952107 In reading "On Cosmopolitanism," reviewing Michelle's link from Stanford's encyclopedia, and the video on cosmopolitan by Rawji that Alex posted, an image rose up for me of people migrating millenia ago as we moved from continent to continent. It seems that cosmopolitanism is always the change that is our common experience. And assimilation or the will to make things stable is our 'against' the organic system of change that occurs naturally. This so makes me do a cosmic laugh. All our problems are so old and we still haven't solved them. Hahaha.
