I am an educational researcher and evaluator by trade and an anthropologist by training.� I first got interested in adult literacy education when I was assigned Paulo Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed in my freshman year in college.� Freire stuck with me as I pursued studies in anthropology and eventually took up Chinese studies.� I spent three years teaching in China and then came back to finish my doctorate in education.� My dissertation was an ethnography of adult literacy work in a Chinese village.� I worked in the UCLA assessment research center for a couple of years and then went to the National Center on Adult Literacy at Penn from 1994-1997.� In 1997, I moved back to California and took a job at a large, nonprofit research firm - SRI International. I do research on instructional, assessment, and policy issues in adult basic literacy and ESL.� One of my current projects involves development of multimedia case studies of adult literacy practice for professional development. I joined the Focus on Basics list as an opportunity to join in a discussion at� the intersection of research and practice.�� From the introductions of members I have seen, it looks like a good group to take up this kind of dialogue. � -- Regie Stites, Ph.D. Center for Education and Human Services SRI International 333 Ravenswood Avenue Menlo Park, CA 94025 email: stites@unix.sri.com phone: (650) 859-3768 fax: (650) 859-2861 www:� http://www.sri.com �
