The Change Agent is collaborating with WE LEARN on our next issue!

The Change Agent: Adult Education for Social Justice: News, Issues, & 
Ideas

Theme: Women and Literacy

Adult Learners and Educators: We are looking for student writings, 
lessons, activities and reflections
addressing the theme of women and literacy.

Questions for students and teachers to think about:
   How does being a woman affect your education?
   What are literacy issues for women? How is literacy
defined for women? What do you think
women’s literacy means?
   What important social/political issues affect
women adult learners? How are those issues
connected to literacy and women’s access to basic
education?
   Do learners have access to information on
women’s issues? How?
   What happens when gender issues come up in
class or in a tutoring session?
   How do you use women-centered materials in your
classes? What does feminism mean to you?

All articles must be received by April 23, 2004.

All articles will be considered. Final decisions are made by The Change 
Agent editorial board.

A stipend of $50 will be paid to each student whose work is accepted 
for publication in this issue.

Please send material (by email or PC disk) to:
Interim Editor c/o Angela Orlando
World Education

Boston, MA 02210
Phone: 617-482-9485 fax: 617-482-0617

The mission of The Change Agent is to provide, in the form of a low 
cost newspaper, news, issues, ideas and other teaching resources that 
inspire and enable adult educators and learners to make civic 
participation and social
justice related concerns part of their teaching and learning. It is 
published by the New England Literacy Resource Center
at World Education.

WE LEARN promotes women's literacy as a tool for transformation and 
change.
