DESCRIPTION:"Reading the Future, Ukufunda Ikusasa, Ho Bala Bokamoso: Literacies for Transformative Education," The Literacy Association of South Africa (LITASA) is celebrating a milestone, our 21st Annual Conference, and we couldn't be more excited to host it right here at the Wits School of Education from 4 to 6 September 2026.
This year's theme, "Reading the Future, Ukufunda Ikusasa, Ho Bala Bokamoso: Literacies for Transformative Education," invites us to reimagine literacy's role in building equitable, multilingual, and socially just futures. In a moment marked by challenging PIRLS findings, widening inequalities, and rapidly advancing AI technologies, literacy remains a powerful tool for transformation.
We're calling for contributions that explore innovative research, classroom practice, community work, and policy directions across all career stages and contexts—from early years foundations to higher education, from assessment practices to community literacies, and from technological innovation to multilingual pedagogies. Whether you're interested in how AI is reshaping literacy education, how home languages can strengthen early learning, or how universities can cultivate epistemic justice, there's space for your voice.
The deadline for abstract submissions is 30 April 2026 - that's soon! We welcome submissions in all twelve official South African languages, and presentation formats include individual papers, workshops, posters, panels, and community project showcases.
Visit https://www.litasa.org.za/conference2026 to submit your abstract, or contact us at info@litasa.org.za for more information.
