Deborah Brandt and Kara Poe Alexander are both authors who have earned Phds in the field of literature, and have since published works on the topic of literacy. Their respective works deeply discuss the inner workings of literacy acquisition, and I will be referencing them in my effort to explore the trauma associated with literacy acquisition. To test my hypothesis of trauma induced by literacy acquisition, I will be evaluating the literary experiences of Chris Sobral and Lindzee Ridley. Both of whom are fellow students of mine at the University of New England.
