I think you'll do just fine.

I haven't looked at the literature but this has been bugging me. Elyse Eidman-Aadahl is the total opposite and feels that communication in any form is valid and supportive?

We almost need a new, broader word that encompasses more forms of expression. I need to do a better job of recognizing various forms communication that are authored and maybe language would help?

I want to be aware of these as a goal and to make my classroom spaces safe, inclusive and open but I'm feeling overwhelmed at what is included in literacy.

She writes a lot about cultural humility and how to make learning spaces truly multicultural beyond just a token black author or holiday from religion that isn't the majority in that class.

It is too easy for all of us to share without digging deeper for sources and evidence.

I see a clear need in post-secondary for better understanding of sources and bias and what constitutes evidence.
