-- to make a proposal for what you’d like to contribute to  a book
of writings and artwork by adult basic education teachers/educators
addressing women’s literacy issues.

reflections (or community stories and solutions). Though we will
include scholarly writing,  our goal is to make this a collection of
teachers’ voices in all sorts of expressions.

Issues in Literacy Classes or Addressing Them in Programs; Experiences
Empowering Women in Literacy; Contextual Approaches for Empowering
