Daphne, I've started a reading group on women writers and researchers on the topic of  women and literacy---so we'll read anything from Anna Robinson-Pant's work to Sapphire to the Oakland Readers series on women. The group includes women lecturers, researchers, doctoral and masters students from Education, Religious Studies, and, Educational Research.  Everyone in the group is interested in issues related to women and literacy from different angles. Thats what I mean. The staff learning centre at the university offers literacy courses to those who want literacy and language instruction. I think your idea of starting a women and literacy reading group for women literacy learners is a good one. It would be different than what the staff centre offers--using a reading group venue might be a lot of fun too. I'll think about how that could work! Thanks, Sondra

Sondra,
When you say that you have started a women and literacy reading group at your university, what do you mean? Is this a group for women who have difficulty reading that is held at the university, is it for faculty/staff? How often does it mean and what happens in the group?
Thanks,
Daphne

Hi Mev, Hi all, 

I was really sorry to miss the women and literacy conference this past year, ---- it looked fantastic!!! I am now living in England (and Ujwala, if you are reading this, please call me!). I have started a women and literacy reading group at my university, and would like to do more....Are there others out there who can make some suggestions about what an academic can do to create more women-literacy knowledge-generating activities in or around her workplace and community? Thanks and hope you are doing well! Sondra
