From Web3 Literacy to Adoption Intention: Trust, Doubt, and Switching Costs
With the rise of blockchain and decentralized technologies, doubts about traditional financial institutions' efficiency have increased. Meanwhile, Web3 offers transparency, security, and autonomy. However, the existing literature overlooks role the role of doubt as a push factor while focusing on the positive effects of trust. Moreover, the role of crypto wallets as a mooring factor remains underexplored. This study applies push-pull-mooring theory to examine Web3 literacy, trust in machines, doubt in institutions, and switching costs. Data were collected from 165 survey respondents. The results indicate that Web3 literacy increases doubt in traditional institutions but does not significantly affect trust in Web3. Additionally, switching costs moderate the relationship between Web3 literacy and doubt. When switching costs are low, doubt rises significantly. This study provides a new perspective on Web3 adoption, showing doubt's push effect and the role of push-pull mooring in migration, thus addressing gaps in the literature. Furthermore, the findings highlight how decentralized finance's trust mechanism is evolving, offering insights for Web3 adoption.

Literacy and the Politics of Representation
Literacy is a key indicator for comparing individuals and nations in contemporary society. It is central to public debates about the nature of the public sphere, economic markets, citizenship and self-governance.
Literacy and the Politics of Representation aims to uncover the constructed nature of public understandings of literacy by examining detailed examples of how literacy is represented in a range of public contexts. It looks at the ways in which knowledge about literacy is created and distributed, the location and relative power of the knowledge-makers, and examines the different semiotic resources used in such representations: images and metaphors, numerical and statistical models, and textual narratives and how they are related to one another.
The book focuses on the UK from 1970 to the present, but includes a range of international comparisons and examples. In addition, exemplar chapters offer a model of analysis that can be used to deconstruct the representations of social policy issues.
This book is vital reading for postgraduate students in the areas of education studies, literacy, discourse analysis and multimodality.

Climate Justice Literacy: Stories‐We‐Live‐By, Ecolinguistics, and Classroom Practice
Literacy educators can guide students to examine the stories we live by, or the larger narratives that guide individual and collective sensemaking about relationships between humans and the environment. Drawing from the field of ecolinguistics, the authors consider two ecologically destructive stories we live by: Humans are the center of existence, and consumerism is a main pathway to happiness and fulfillment. The authors also explore three intersecting beneficial stories we live by that center on indigenous perspectives, feminist foundations of climate justice, and youth activism. This work is rooted in three essential understandings about climate change: It is a complex socioscientific topic and escalating problem, engaging with climate change is mediated primarily by a complicated array of motivated digital texts and motivated readers, and climate change is about climate (in)justice. The authors conclude with ideas about being a climate justice literacy educator.
