About the Series

The Working Papers Series on Negotiating Differences in Language and Literacy: Practices and Pedagogies (“Series”) is intended to make available pre-publication versions of academic articles, book chapters, or reviews relevant to the Series topic.  Papers posted on this site are in progress, under submission, or in press and forthcoming elsewhere and span a wide range of fields, including but not limited to rhetoric and composition, literacy studies, language learning, applied linguistics, and education.  

The Series offers these working papers in the interests of allowing for dissemination and discussion of new research more quickly than the usual timelines for publication of articles in journals or books.  While not refereed, papers included in the Series have been approved for inclusion by at least two members of the Editorial Advisory Committee (see Review Process).  The opinions expressed in the Working Papers included in the Series are the author(s) alone, and are not to be  construed as carrying the endorsement of this site, the Series Editor, members of the Editorial Advisory Committee, or the University of Louisville.

Papers may be downloaded from this site by individuals, for their own use, subject to the ordinary rules governing fair use of professional scholarship (see Copyright Statement). Comments on papers or questions about their content should be sent directly to the author, at his or her email address.  Working papers may be cited without seeking prior permission from the author. The proper form for citing working papers in this series is:

Author (year). Title. Paper #.  Working Papers on Negotiating Differences in Language and Literacy: Practices and Pedagogies.

The copyright of a Working Paper is held by the author or by his or her assignee: see Copyright Statement.

Downloadable copies of Series working papers will be removed from this site if and when authors indicate to the Series Editor that they have been published elsewhere. Once a paper has been published elsewhere, it is ordinarily preferable to cite it in its final, published version, rather than in its Series Working Paper version.
