Community Literacies Collaboratory
 |
Founded by Eric Darnell Pritchard in 2022, the Community Literacies Collaboratory (CLC) facilitates and supports a variety of literacy partnerships—ranging from scholarly
research and educational and policy initiatives to community programming centered on various aspects of empowerment and advocacy in Arkansas and nationally.
The CLC does this work through a vision centered on an ethics of justice, imagination,
community accountability, and love.
Through this vision, we invite all literacy stakeholders—advocates, educators, researchers, and creatives—to dream projects that will help all people practice literacies more fluently, richly, productively, and joyfully. Such partnerships include supporting scholarly research with clear statewide, national, and international literacy and education policy outcomes that can positively impact literacy learning and practice in schools or adult literacy programs, through to smaller programs that focus on literacy development within applied trades and crafts such as farming, sewing, painting, theater, and photography.
From our academic journal The Sandbox to community workshops and events, there are tons of ways to get involved and help grow literacy within our communities. We also offer financial support to individuals and organizations working on the ground via our grants program—empowering people to thrive in their chosen literacies.
Keep up with CLC news and events by visiting our website and/or by subscribing to our free monthly newsletter. The form to do so is at the bottom of our website’s front page.
