The 7th annual conference will be hosted by the National Center for the Study of Adult Learning and Literacy (NCSALL)at Harvard University in conjunction with the Tufts University Department of Education and the NCTM-affiliated Adult Numeracy Network. ALM7 Call for Papers (Submission Deadline: March 15, 2000) The range of perspectives: The meetings are expected to cover a wide range of perspectives around issues about adults knowing and learning mathematics. Some will be more practice-driven, concentrating on instruction and curriculum, while others will focus on theory. The conference will provide the opportunity for beginning and experienced researchers to inform each other of projects; for adult education mathematics teachers to share practice; and most importantly, for the two communities to benefit from new understandings. Participants will come from many different countries. Plenary speakers will include: King Beach (US), Roseanne Benn (UK), Marilyn Frankenstein (US), Gelsa Knijnik (Brazil), and Pamela Meader (US).
