Abstract
[...]it seems even more urgent to us now, both in the USA and globally, that English educators talk about politics, power, critical literacy and civic engagement in literacy instruction. In response to our call, we received an overwhelming number of thought-provoking manuscripts addressing this question. [...]in addition to the nine articles appearing in this special issue, our first issue of 2018 will serve as a Volume 2 of the special issue on teaching politics. Hsieh’s teacher narrative, “Making room for discomfort: exploring critical literacy and practice in a teacher education classroom”, provides a powerful look into how the results of the 2016 US presidential election prompted her to rethink the power of critical literacy, both as an essential element of her literacy education course and as a means of reflecting on her own pedagogical practices. Smagorinsky explains his reasoning for sharing his own political views, values and neuroatypicalities with his students and handing over curricular decision-making and interpretive authority to students to reframe power and “political correctness” in education as mutual respect and acknowledgement of unfamiliar perspectives.
