Hi Everyone,

I am passing on this announcement about an upcoming math conference. And while we're thinking about math, the next issue of FOB is about numeracy! (Stay tuned...)

All the best,
Julie

Adults Learning Mathematics Conference 

The fifteenth annual conference of Adults Learning Mathematics - A Research
Forum (ALM), A Declaration of Numeracy: Empowering Adults through
Mathematics Education, will be held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from June
30, 2008 to July 3, 2008. ALM is an international research forum that brings
together those engaged and interested in research and developments in the
field of adult mathematics/numeracy teaching and learning. The ALM
conference has not met in the United States since 2000 and offers American
educators a unique opportunity to meet colleagues from around the world who
share their interest in adult mathematics education. Information about the
2008 conference can be found on the ALM website www.alm-online.net. The
conference organizer is Kathy Safford, ksafford at spc.edu.

CALL FOR PROPOSALS ALM-15
Researchers and practitioners in the fields of adult numeracy and
mathematics education and related disciplines are invited to submit
proposals for contributions to this international conference.
The organisers particularly welcome contributions from members and
non-members that help us to: 
* share good practice in adult mathematics teaching and learning, 
* take stock of our area/discipline as an evolving area of study and
research, 
* assess the nature and value of the combined contribution for adults
mathematics education/numeracy, and 
* chart future directions for development and research. 

Please submit abstracts of proposals for papers by 31 March 2008.
