I am posting a message on behalf of the staff at the Student Coalition for Action in Literacy Education (SCALE). We are a national organization supporting the participatory education and social change work of campus-based literacy programs. An article we enjoyed reading, one that connects political philosophy and education policy, is Patrick Shannon's "'What's My Name?': A Politics of Literacy in the Latter Half of the 20th Century in America." published in Reading Research Quarterly, Jan-Mar 2000, Vol.35, Issue1, p90. Shannon challenges us to "begin asking ourselves how these ideologies have influenced us, which elements we value and which we no longer value, and what other possibilities are available to us." Would that question be an interesting place to renew our discussion about the philosophical purposes of education and parallel policy implications? Best, Kathy Kathy Sikes, Executive Director Student Coalition for Action in Literacy Education ph:919.962.1542 fax: 919.962.6020
