International Handbook of Research in Digital Literacies

The International Handbook of Research in Digital Literacies offers a timely and multidimensional portrait of priorities shaping digital literacies research and practice today. The volume assembles scholars from around the world who are advancing new lines of inquiry across rapidly evolving, interdisciplinary fields of study to expand digital literacies research, practice, and policy.Contributors weave together theoretical, critical, and methodological threads to address new developments in a rapidly shifting field. Taken together, the five sections of the Handbook constitute a global scholarly conversation that pushes the boundaries of how digital literacies are understood and researched across expansive contexts.Contributors adopt pluralistic perspectives to illuminate both established lines of inquiry and emerging advancements in digital literacies methods and approaches, offering new directions in teaching and learning. From AI and data literacies to computational and gaming literacies to culturally responsive assessment and global collaborations, authors examine topics with the intellectual depth, analytical rigor, and critical lenses that the complexity of today's digital world demands.This handbook is a call to action for educators committed to boldly driving digital literacies research forward. It is essential reading for graduate students, researchers, and educators working in areas including literacy studies, digital media, learning sciences, and education.
