Tis is a hasty note as I am on my way out of town. More details will be available n the next WE LEARN newsletter due at the end of the month. However, preliminary reports are quite positive. We've received a number of email expressing congratulations & kind words about the success of the conference. Other than some logistical issues with stuffy rooms, the overall evaluations were very positive and supportive. Barbara Neely was compelling as she talked about literacy, literacy and women's power and the connections to social change. It set a very hopeful and urgent tone to encourage participants on with their work of supporting women's literacy. The workshops were incredible in their quality as well. the numbers?? we had 93 participants in the end! of those, 11 were adult learners and 7 were graduate students. we had a good cross section from people in various places in the field...GED/ABE/ESOL/workplace/teachers, tutors, librarians etc....more detailed number will follow in the newsletter. thanks for asking -- now - everyone remember to write for the special issue of The Change agent on women & literacy. for more details go to: www.litwomen.org/tca.html cheers.
