[HealthLiteracy 478] Re: Wednesday Question: Giving ThanksBertha Mo bertiemo at yahoo.comWed Nov 22 17:53:45 EST 2006
I'm an American living in Ottawa, Canada and I'm very thankful that I can celebrate Thanksgiving twice. I'm also very thankful for this listserve and the interview with Jereann King that I just read. Very thought provoking information. I'm actually going to suggest that subscribers to the Poverty, Women,Race listserve check it out. Thank you all.

By the way, the article she's talking about is from a publication called Focus on Basics, which connects research to practice for adult literacy practitioners. An article from past issues is highlighted each Tuesday on the Focus on Basics discussion list, and this week's FOB Article-of-the-Week is: A Conversation With FOB: Addressing Racism, Classism and Gender in ABE http://www.ncsall.net/index.php?id=206 For those of you interested in these issues, there is also a new discussion list from the National Institute for Literacy called Poverty, Race, Women and Literacy. I imagine they share many issues of interest to us on this list, so I will keep tuned into this list and share relevant information with you all! You can get more information about all these discussion lists at: http://www.nifl.gov/lincs/discussions/discussions.html Sorry to add a plug here--I'd love to hear more reasons for thanks!

And thank you for re-issuing that wonderful article earlier from FOB on race, class and gender, on the other lists. The best Thanksgiving blessing ever! I've been sharing it with many others, and it's very timely. I really loved it, not having read it before. Laurie >>> "Julie McKinney" 11/22/2006 10:45 AM >>> Hi Everyone, The list has been quiet, but I want to check in and let you know that we will start having a Wednesday Question. Every Wednesday, I will put out a question on the list that might be interesting to share thoughts and information about. Please e-mail me if you have suggestions. Today I hope most of you are winding down for a long weekend, but in honor of Thanksgiving, I will put out this informal first Wednesday Question: What are you thankful for in terms of our field moving forward? I am thankful that there is such growth lately of forums for discussion and action in supporting healthliteracy in this country. I see people from many different disciplines talking about it. I see conferences, books, government publications, teachers addressing the issue, and the addition of health literacy questions on the latest National Assessment of Adult Literacy. I think we have taken many steps forward and am thankful for that. What about you all? Have a warm and healthy Thanksgiving!
