Empowering Women through Literacy: Views from Experience

*** Call for Writings from ABE Practitioners ***
What's your experience of working with women in ABE/ESOL? We'd like
to know....

Empowering Women through Literacy: Views from Experience
Edited by Mev Miller, Ed.D. and Kathleen King, Ed.D.
We invite practitioners working in adult basic/literacy education --
classroom teachers, educators, tutors, administrators, and
researchers -- to make a proposal for what you'd like to contribute
to a book of writings and artwork by adult basic education teachers/ educators addressing women's literacy issues.

We are very interested in receiving personal stories and reflections
(or community stories and solutions). Though we will include
scholarly writing, our goal is to make this a collection of
teachers' voices in all sorts of expressions.

Topics Explored: Barriers and Challenges to Discussing Women's Issues
in Literacy Classes or Addressing Them in Programs; Experiences
Empowering Women in Literacy; Contextual Approaches for Empowering
Women in Literacy

Deadline for Proposals: May 30, 2008 For more details and form,
