Tierney, of the Faculty of Education, UBC, commissioned this film as a way to bring to screen an article he wrote on the social and political undercurrents driving the policies in Literacy Education. Dr. Tierney’s article was first published in the Journal of Adolescent Literacy, 46,4, 260-27, under the title: An ethical chasm: Jurisprudence, jurisdiction and the literacy profession. First version of script was adapted and produced as a Reader’s Theatre performance under the direction of Mia Perry for the Keynote Presentation and Related Paper at Simon Fraser University’s 40th Anniversary, March 4, 2006.
