Interesting - violence is so pervasive yet so silenced in our society. Here are a few attempts to look at these intertwined issues: Jenny Horsman's research and book *Too Scared to Learn*. Check Jenny's web site at www.jennyhorsman.com Janet Isserlis's site and work on a NIFL fellowship (along with Anson Green in Texas): http://www.brown.edu/Departments/Swearer_Center/Literacy_Resources/vio lence.html World Education's Women's Educational Equity Act grant working with 6 adult ed programs in New England to explore ways programs and classrooms can be more supportive to students experiencing violence. Project Director is Elizabeth Morrish at emorrish@worlded.org. (when we have a web site, I'll let the list know) This list has been very supportive in connecting those struggling with this issue.
