CISA Lunchtime Talk: "Is Literacy Necessary for Democracy? Some Provocations."
In this talk, Professor Akhil Gupta argues that literacy is neither a sufficient nor necessary condition for democracy.

Moreover, through strategies of writing back and counterfeit writing, poor people undermine the uses of literacy for domination.
