Possible topics include: women and literacy in > countries outside the United States, health literacy as it pertains to women's > issues, the role of women's literacy in family literacy programs, domestic > violence and its intersection with literacy, women's literacy levels and its > ties to economics and welfare of families, women's access to literacy in > different cultures, connection between women's literacy and political agendas, > identification of low literate women's communication networks, and discussion > of action steps addressing women and literacy. > > The second goal is to share resources on issues related to women and literacy. > The list should be the first place that people in the field turn to when they > have a question or need a solution in the area of women and literacy. > > The third goal is to encourage an exploration of potential research projects > in the area of women and literacy, by providing an open forum for the exchange > of relevant ideas. > > The list moderator is Daphne Greenberg, Associate Director of the Center for > the Study of Adult Literacy (CSAL) at Georgia State University in Atlanta, > Georgia. > > The mission of CSAL is to explore adult literacy by conducting basic and > applied research in a wide range of settings, disseminating information, and > providing technical support to all those interested in or involved with > literacy. CSAL has examined literacy in a variety of contexts: the workplace, > the health arena, the family, the home, the community, and school. CSAL > publishes a newsletter and supports the development of journal articles, books > and book chapters, monographs, reports, manuals, workshops and speeches at > professional conferences. CSAL's Resource Center is open to the public by > appointment and includes resources such as videotapes, audio tapes, software > programs, assessment tools, and books that focus on English as a second > language, family literacy, workplace literacy, general adult and children's > literacy. It sponsors a conference on Women and Literacy where researchers, > learners, providers, and policymakers discuss issues involving women's > acquisition of literacy skills. Current research projects include increasing > mammography utilization of African-American women who have low literacy skills > and examining the relationship between the mother's functional literacy level, > the Head Start child's preschool learning experience, and child outcomes. > > The ten forums are among the important features of the Institute's Literacy > Information And Communication System (LINCS).
