<div>
 Understanding people’s literacy processes at different ages and educational levels</div>
<div>
 requires the study of their literacy practices, not only within the school or academic</div>
<div>
 setting, but also in a variety of spaces, such as the home, the neighbourhood, the</div>
<div>
 community centre, the digital world, etc. Previous research in the field has usually</div>
<div>
 focused on the formal training of literacy skills (mainly restricted to reading and writing)</div>
<div>
 in the school setting. More recent research, however, has focused on the social role of</div>
<div>
 literacy in other contexts, and the way literacy development interacts with other</div>
<div>
 learning experiences throughout people’s lives.</div>
<div>
 The First International Conference: Literacy as Social Practice intends to bring together</div>
<div>
 studies that, from an ethnographic perspective, explore the complex albeit fascinating</div>
<div>
 relations between people’s literacy practices in different contexts. In order to do so, we</div>
<div>
 invite scholars and researchers in the field to describe, analyse, discuss and share their</div>
<div>
 views on the social import of literacy, its role in identity construction and the conflicts</div>
<div>
 generated in the complex literacy processes that take place nowadays.</div>
