This project will investigate the relationship between the fields of literacy research, policy and practice. Its aim is to strengthen the problematic nexus of these three fields, with a view to contributing to a national literacy agenda.Given the recent National Literacy Inquiry and consequent report, this project could not be more timely or significant in addressing a problem of national (indeed international) importance. Expected outcomes include the strengthening of a national literacy research agenda and the establishment of a refereed journal based in Australia, disseminating susbtantial literacy studies and examining and edifying the nexus of literacy research, policy and practice.
