description 1. What does working with Academic Literacies mean "in practice"? 2. How can the transformative approach argued for in Academic Literacies’ theorizing be instantiated in practice(s)? 3. In developing a transformative approach, how might work in Academic Literacies usefully draw on and engage with other approaches to writing? Exactly how, when and in which specific contexts - geographical, institutional, disciplinary, stage of study - particular elements of Academic Literacies are valuable for developing a transformative approach to writing and reading in the academy were (and are) questions we all felt needed more consideration. This book is intended as a contribution to such a development, bringing together ideas, pedagogic case studies and critical commentaries from teacher-researchers working in a range of contexts, from undergraduate to postgraduate levels across a range of disciplines - including natural and social sciences - and a number of geopolitical regions - Australia, Brazil, Canada, Catalonia, Finland, France, Ireland, Portugal, South Africa, United Kingdom, United States.
