PennGSEVideoLab's video: Ethnography Forum 2019 - Special Session: Honoring the Legacy of Brian Street

This featured symposium is in honor of the life and legacy of Brian Street. Brian, a trained anthropologist, was a Professor Emeritus of language education at King’s College London, and was affiliated with the Reading/Writing/Literacy Program at the University of Pennsylvania. A titan in the field of literacy, his theorization of socio-cultural literacy, his founding work of the New Literacy Studies, and his critique of the autonomous model of literacy shifted paradigms in the field. The panelists – colleagues, students, and friends of Brian – reflect on Brian’s intellectual and personal legacy and his influence on generations of scholars at Penn and beyond.
