I would love to see a research project that would give us more information regarding the impact of trauma on learning. Specifically, on adult women who are survivors of various forms of violence and who have difficulty with reading comprehension, and more pervasively, math anxiety. And then, I guess more importantly, to develop strategies to deal with the problem. I am aware of Jenny Horseman's work. Do you know of anyone doing research in this area?

For information, you can go to: http://www.nrconline.org/conference/conf04.html According to this website: NRC is an international organization devoted to excellence in reading and literacy research. It is the annual gathering place for leading literacy researchers from around the world. The latest research results are presented within a wonderful spirit of intense debate and dialogue within a positive, collaborative spirit. NRC has a long tradition of viewing reading and literacy research with a broad and multifaceted lens. Our work benefits by celebrating the complexity that defines our field; we welcome everyone into our diverse community of very talented scholars. Two questions: 1. Have any of you attended NRC, and what kind of experience did you have? 2. If funding were available, what kind of research project would you like to see conducted in the field of women and literacy?
