Dr. Smythe’s research program is located in the theories, pedagogies and policies of literacy and learning in community settings, with a focus on new challenges for equity and social inclusion in a digital society. This research focus necessarily enfolds strategies of community-based and participatory research that embed knowledge mobilization and engagement as integral to research design, knowledge sharing and publication methods. Her role in the STOREE project is concerned with the doing of knowledge mobilization, the potential and tensions of community engaged research in performative times, and the ethics of relationality that may guide these endeavours.
