In this episode managing editor Tyler H.J. Frank and co-editor Eric Claravall chat with Zulfa Sakhiyya about a recent article she authored in JAAL "To Read or Not to Read: Critical Literacy and Book Ban in Indonesia". Sakhiyya describes the Indonesian context for book bans and her own critical action research engaging students in critical literacies around book ban. In the conversation, Sakhiyya elaborates on the unique ways critical literacy was enacted in her context and considers the potential for these approaches to contribute to democratic life and challenge systems of power.
