Purpose

The Ethnicity, Race, and Multilingualism Committee has four main objectives:

• To increase awareness and knowledge of members about issues of diversity and equity in literacy research and education.
• To promote an interest in conducting or supporting literacy research aimed at improving educational opportunities, access, achievement, and empowerment of students of diverse, cultural, linguistic, and socioeconomic backgrounds.
• To increase the participation of scholars of diverse cultural backgrounds in LRA as members, Annual Conference presenters, Committee members, and officers. 
• To assist and advise the Board of Directors in monitoring LRA’s progress in meeting goals of equity.
