Hi,
I don't know if you've already talked to Vicky Purcell-Gates about
writing an article about classism but she has done research on language,
class and power.  I just read her chapter in a book edited by Lisa
Delpit called the Skin That We Speak. I highly recommend the book. It's
mostly about race and language and class. Silja

Focus on Basics  Volume 6B will be on "isms" in adult basic education:
racism, classism, sexism, homophobia, etc.

While we have some great articles in the works, we're still looking
for
articles on how individuals, programs, or state systems deal with
issues
raised by these biases. We're particularly interested in stories that
focus on dealing with homophobia. If you would like to write an
article
on this topic, contact me directly at barbara_garner@worlded.org. 
Thanks!
