Session Description:
“”Post-literacy”" is the phrase used to capture the possibility of rich human communication that exceeds (and hence replaces) visible language (writing and reading) as the dominant means of for understanding and exchange of ideas. Post-literacy, as explored in this presentation, is not a decline from literacy into some new dark age but rather the beginning of a transformational capacity as yet unimagined. Not for the faint of heart.

Benefits/Objectives:

• Understanding ourselves better as literate beings
• Speculating on the future of human communication
• Exploring a new and exciting and perhaps dangerous idea

Presenters:
Michael Ridley, University of Guelph, Guelph, ON, Canada
