It is my great honor and pleasure to announce that from Monday Feb.
12th through Friday Feb. 16th, Dominique Chlup will be facilitating a
discussion on the PovertyRaceWomen and Literacy list on:

Bars, Boundaries, and Barriers Researching Women's Spaces

Dominique Chlup is an assistant professor of adult education and the
director of the Texas Center for the Advancement of Literacy and
Learning (TCALL) at Texas A&M University.She got her "calling" to be an
adult educator after volunteering for a year at the Valhalla Women's
Jail in New York. She taught in the "Right to Write" program.  While her
career has taken her into several other adult classrooms, she finds she
returns again and again to her work with women student-inmates.  She
wrote a dissertation on the history of the educational programs and
practices at the Framingham Reformatory for Women in Massachusetts, and
she continues to research contemporary prison programs.  As a part of
her research with women inmates, she has encountered both literal and
figurative bars.  As such, she is always interested in dialoging with
others about their own experiences researching and working in women's
spaces.  To learn more about her work, you can read
