<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family:HelveticaNeue;color:#333333">A discussion of differences and similarities in Academic Literacies (ACLITS) and North American approaches to academic research and pedagogy, which, among other issues,
addressed the treatment of genre in these approaches, started at SIGET IV (RUSSELL et al., 2009). While many differences between the approaches have been noted, there are some important similarities as well. For example, for both ACLITS (LEA & STREET, 1998)
and academic Genre Studies (CRISTOVÃO & ARTEMEVA, 2018), “it is important to investigate the understandings of both academic staff and students about their own literacy practices [and we can add, their genre use], without making prior assumptions as to which
practices are either appropriate or effective" (LEA & STREET, 1998, p. 158). Consequently, both ACLITS and academic Genre Studies focus on the investigation of student and instructor literacy practices and their use of diverse genres in different disciplinary
and educational contexts (cf. TARDY, 2016). In 2009, RUSSELL et al. put out a call for further discussion and dialogue among the traditions. This Symposium responds to the call and expands previous investigations of academic multiliteracies (e.g., NAVARRO
et al, 2016) by soliciting papers that </span><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family:HelveticaNeue"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
