I expect Andy or Silja will post the details about the strand here. The purpose of the WE LEARN workshop (LGBTI and the Language of Sexual Diversities) will be to consider how lesbian and gay identities (and gender/sexuality issues in general) impact both students and educators in ABE/ESOL. Also, I just wanted everyone to know that WE LEARN & The Change Agent will have a shared table in the exhibit area called Literacy for LIberation. Because we we late in registering for it, the exhibit will not be in the program book. So, we wanted to make everyone aware so that you can come by and visit us!
