Situated within the Department of Integrated Studies in Education (DISE) at McGill University, Mosaïque is a research network committed to exploring how language and literacy practices unfold within social, political, and material contexts. Our members study the forces that shape reading, writing, and meaning‑making—across multilingual, multimodal, and community‑based environments.
Our work engages with questions of power among language users, societal discourses surrounding literacy, and the terrains where text and discourse emerge. We also support research that reframes dominant theories by drawing on decolonial perspectives and multilingual education, including global analyses of mother‑tongue‑based and minoritized language schooling.
Mosaïque regularly hosts events, symposia, and dialogues that bring together scholars who share a commitment to socially grounded, critically informed approaches to literacy and discourse. These gatherings invite researchers from around the world who contribute to conversations on deeply-rooted and innovative literacy practices.
We welcome you to explore our projects, connect with our community, and join the ongoing conversations at the intersection of literacy, discourse, and society.
