What's your experience of working with women in ABE/ESOL? We'd like  
to know....

Empowering Women through Literacy: Views from Experience
Edited by Mev Miller, Ed.D. and Kathleen King, Ed.D.
We invite practitioners working in adult basic/literacy education --  
classroom teachers, educators, tutors, administrators, and  
researchers -- to make a proposal for what you’d like to contribute  
to  a book of writings and artwork by adult basic education teachers/ 
educators addressing women’s literacy issues.

We’re very interested in receiving personal stories and reflections  
(or community stories and solutions). Though we will include  
scholarly writing, our goal is to make this a collection of teachers’  
voices in all sorts of expressions.

Topics Explored: Barriers and Challenges to Discussing Women's Issues  
in Literacy Classes or Addressing Them in Programs; Experiences  
Empowering Women in Literacy; Contextual Approaches for Empowering  
Women in Literacy

Deadline for Proposals: May 30, 2008  For more details and form,
