To me it implies literacy and learning as a continuous process, which might appeal to some who feel branded by the fact that they have reached adulthood and find themselves with literacy problems. To use both Adult and Child/Youth in the title says," Like a child, I am not literate."

Actually you raise an interesting question-what age group does the word child imply? What age group does the word youth imply?

How about the Center for the Study of Adult and Youth literacy? I believe that "Youth" is more encompassing than "Child." Catherine -----Original Message----- From: nifl-womenlit@nifl.gov [mailto:nifl-womenlit@nifl.gov]On Behalf Of Daphne Greenberg Sent: Monday, March 03, 2003 8:48 AM To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: [NIFL-WOMENLIT:2504] name of center I would like to invite some feedback over an issue that I am thinking about. Currently, my center is called the Center for the Study of Adult Literacy. The Dean wants the name to be changed to the Center for the Study of Lifelong Literacy. I am worried about losing the word Adult in the title and would like to propose the name: Center for the Study of Adult and Child Literacy. So, which name do you think is better: Center for the Study of Lifelong Literacy or Center for the Study of Adult and Child Literacy Do you think it matters? Why? Thanks!
