As we have moved through the various conceptual contexts, from the (auto) biographical to the philosophical context, we have burrowed ever more deeply into the connections between critical literacy and democratic life. We have explored how both critical literacy and democratic thinking require a presence, identity work, in order for us to recognize who we are and the need for mindfulness in making decisions appropriate to both being and becoming more critically literate as well as being and becoming more democratic.
