Read the preprint here https://www.academia.edu/113320219/NEW_DIRECTIONS_IN_DISCIPLINARY_LITERACY

And the final paper can be accessed at https://library.iated.org/ once the conference organizers publish the proceedings.

Be sure to check out our interviews and other resources for literacies in the disciplines here. Finally, I want to share the cover of the 2nd edition of Literacy in the Disciplines: A Teacher’s Guide for Grades 5-12 due to be released in the summer of 2024.
