  Hi all,

There was a strong preference by the group to read something by Jenny 
Horsman. A suggestion was made that we read something by her already 
posted on the Internet [http://www.jennyhorsman.com/articles.html]. In 
looking at the list, many of the links point to print (hard copy) 
published articles. I've talked with Jenny about what she would 
recommend. Her suggestions included the articles below -- some are 
newer and not yet published or posted on the Internet, but she has sent 
me electronic copies that I can email to those interested in 
participating.

Please indicate your 1st and 2nd choice ONLY to the list below.
Selections must be designated by Wednesday, Aug. 2.
If electronic articles are selected, they will be emailed to those 
interested in participating by Aug. 8

Chapter from Too Scared to Learn, "Learning in the Context of Trauma: 
The Challenge of Setting Goals" (40 pages, single-spaced) Because the 
book is currently in reprint, Jenny has agreed to make one chapter 
available via email to those who participate in the group. I have 
selected this chapter as it contains information that may be useful as 
practitioners go back into their programs in September.

Take on the Challenge: A Source Book from the Women, Violence, and 
Adult Education Project ? Elizabeth Morrish, Jenny Horsman and 
Judy Hofer, Boston: World Education. 2002 -- complete book (191 pages) 
-- Available on the Internet in pdf format -- 
http://www.jennyhorsman.com/articles/challenge/challenge.pdf

Moving Beyond "Stupid": Taking Account of the Impact of Violence on 
Women?s Learning (13 pages, single-spaced) -- soon to be published. 
Jenny has provided electronic copy.
"In this article, I examine violence that contributes to early learning 
failure and to entrenching the belief that one is too stupid to learn. 
I also look at some of the effects of violence on the learning process, 
and consider how to create conditions in adult education programs to 
counteract this early ?training?, including ways to support learning 
for those who doubt that they can learn and fear that opening a book 
will only remind them of their own ?stupidity.?

?But Is It Education?? The Challenge of Creating Effective Learning for 
Survivors of Trauma -- Women's Studies Quarterly, 32: #1&2, 2004 (25 
pages - double-spaced) - This is not available on the Internet but Mev 
has it and will send electronically.
"This paper introduces research I carried out from 1996 to 1999, 
looking at the impact of violence on women?s literacy learning and 
program participation in order to develop approaches to literacy work 
which will assist women to learn."

Responding to Disclosures of Abuse in Women?s Lives: A Guide For 
Teachers of Literacy (3 pages, single-spaced) soon to be published. 
Jenny has provided electronic copy.

Please indicate your 1st and 2nd choice ONLY to the list above.
Selections must be designated by Wednesday, Aug. 2
If electronic articles are selected, they will be emailed to those

For those who wanted to work through the 
http://www.learningandviolence.net/, I'm not recommending that for this 
group at this time partly because it's still in development with more 
pages to come and many links not complete or connected yet. 
Participants may want to explore this site to supplement our discussion 
on the list.

Thanks.
