Professor Mariana Pacheco and two collaborators published “Re-imagining social futures: Bi/multilingual youths’ sociocritical literacies” in the July 2025 issue of the Journal of Literacy Research. The paper focuses on a summer writing program that Pacheco and her colleagues called GANAS (an acronym using a word that means “desire” or “motivation” in Spanish) for bi/multilingual youth, including English learners and one youth with a learning disability. The program sought to facilitate sociocritical literacies based on the youths’ lived experiences and encourage them to imagine new social futures. Pacheco and her colleagues used testimonio (self-narrative) as a primary mediational tool to promote sociocritical literacies.
