Abstract
Dr. Virginie Thériault will revisit the data she collected between 2012 and 2015 in two community-based organisations for young people (aged 16 to 30) in a situation of precarity in Québec, Canada. The study’s main research objective was to understand the relations between the literacy practices used in the community-based organisations and those of the young people who attended their activities. Thériault will discuss the similarities and differences between the literacy and numeracy practices observed in the two non-formal education settings. She will explore in what ways numeracy practices can also be understood as social practices embedded in complex power relationships.
