Examples of topics include: the relationships among poverty, race, women and literacy in the United States and in other countries; health as it pertains to women and poverty issues; the hidden rules of persons living with the effects of poverty, the intersection of these effects with gender and race, and the misunderstandings these can cause in the teaching/learning process; the role of women's literacy in family literacy programs, and the assumptions about race and poverty often made in these programs; domestic violence and its intersection with poverty, race, and literacy; women's literacy levels and its ties to economics and welfare of families; access to literacy in different cultures based on gender, racial, and economic status; connection between women's literacy, race, poverty and public policy; identification of supportive communication networks; and discussion of action steps addressing women, race, poverty and literacy.
