I want to thank everyone who has participated this week in the reading 
discussion of articles by Jenny Horsman on the effects of violence and 
trauma on women's learning.

In the past few days, Janet, Andres, and Kate have each added some 
specific examples of what they are doing in their programs. I would 
still like to hear what others have done as well.

We have, by no means, reached the end of things we can say or write 
about this topic. I encourage folks to continue this discussion in the 
next few weeks -- perhaps we could revisit it again as people come back 
to their programs and find new challenges in the coming year. Daphne 
will have someone summarize this conversation to be posted on the NIFL 
website.

I'm signing off -- I will be out of town for a few days with no access 
to email -- but I look forward to continued discussion on this topic.

Thanks.
Mev
