The Master's Degree in Literacy Studies (MEL) arises organically from the sustained work carried out by an interdisciplinary team from different institutions through the Transdisciplinary Institute in Literacy (ITRALI) of the University of Guadalajara (UdeG). Thus, the collaborative work between different academic bodies related to the social sciences, humanities, arts and health of the UdeG, as well as researchers from the Universidad Veracruzana, the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Georgia, among others; It resulted in an epistemological positioning for the MEL that allows it to contribute to the rescue of the plurality of historical and situated social practices that are not limited to a cognitive or linguistic process.
The previous dialogue exercises made it possible to identify common, local, national and global problems, for which it was concluded that the best way to understand and address them is through education with a literacy approach.
Therefore, literacy is conceived as a form of educational innovation that involves expanding awareness of the relationship between text, thinking, language, and reading and writing within the educational process to improve cognition that allows the student to appropriate their cultural heritage and play an active role in society.
In this way, the MEL proposes, through the creation of communities of academics, students and postgraduate graduates, and collaboration with actors from different institutions, sectors and latitudes, to carry out relevant and urgent actions to promote in turn their work and coexistence communities, tools for understanding their historical-social context and therefore, being leaders who promote the development of social justice and peace.
So it becomes possible to study and analyze the reading and writing processes in everyday life. In addition to studying and intervening in the reading-writing processes, but also other practices that allow people, paraphrasing Freire, to read the world from a creative and critical approach to reality.
Thus, in this challenging and hopeful spirit, the MEL is aimed at education professionals (teachers, managers, directors), since at the level of intervention in the reality and development of the country, teachers who are in a classroom They are those who have a direct impact on education, but the MEL also addresses community, cultural or social leaders and managers.
In short, we seek in this postgraduate program to contribute to this leap towards an education based on literacy. That is, a social practice that recognizes the diversity of reading and writing practices or literate practices in their diversity of contexts and realities.
