Transliteracies Research Lab

How diverse linguistic practices and literacies intersect across languages, media, and technologies. 

We use innovative methodologies—from arts-based interventions and film production to digital research and AI—to translate knowledge into more inclusive classrooms, stronger multilingual communities, and solutions to challenges such as inequity, exclusion, and misinformation.

Our Approach in Action

By merging arts-based creation with cutting-edge digital research, we explore the human dimensions of literacy and technology. Our methods—ranging from documentary filmmaking to AI analysis—are designed to uncover insights that traditional approaches might miss. Ultimately, every project is co-created through community partnerships, ensuring our work drives meaningful, inclusive change.
