SUMMARY:#ALL4SOCIALCHANGE PhD Webinar on Bilingual Literacy for Life: an et
 hnographic study of an indigenous language literacy programme in Mexico
DESCRIPTION:Free webinar on Thursday 29th August at 1pm\nRegister here.\n\n
 This webinar will focus on Indigenous language literacy practices for adul
 ts\, specifically analysing a government-led literacy programme in Mexico 
 called the Bilingual Literacy for Life Programme (BLLP). This research is 
 aligned with the current sustainable development agenda that outlines cert
 ain transformative goals and targets regarding education\, including elimi
 nating gender disparities and ensuring equitable access to quality educati
 on\, particularly for Indigenous peoples and vulnerable populations.\n\nDr
 awing from ethnographic techniques in literacy research\, three case studi
 es were carried out in the Mexican states of Campeche\, Oaxaca and San Lui
 s Potosi. The data that was collected consisted of study circle observatio
 ns and semi-structured interviews with 25 participants and 9 facilitators 
 in order to determine the impact of this literacy programme and to explore
  the different meanings\, values and uses of Indigenous language literacy 
 in the everyday lives of the participants. This study aims to bridge an ep
 istemological gap between government-led literacy programmes and policies 
 and their respective local practices\, thereby informing and enhancing the
  discourse and literature regarding literacy practices in the social and c
 ultural contexts of Indigenous communities.\n\nAdditionally\, the findings
  of this study will have implications for policymakers and practitioners i
 n different country contexts and will aim to contribute to both the wider 
 landscape of international educational development studies in the global S
 outh and to adult literacy studies more generally.\n\nRegister here.\n\nEn
