Something for all of us

As promised, here is the Reading List from Maria Moriarty.
"Education either functions as an instrument to...bring about conformity or it becomes the practice of freedom, the means by which men and women deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world." ~Paulo Freire

Some of these are linked and some are available at the library or for purchase.

Two seminal works in the area of workplace literacy that I would recommend are:

The Politics of Workplace Literacy: A Case Study (1992) Sheryl Greenwood Gowan

Reading Work: Literacies in the New Workplace (2004) Mary Ellen Belfiore, Tracy A. Defoe, Sue Folinsbee, Judy Hunter, Nancy S. Jackson

I would add a few practitioner-research publications that may be unfamiliar to some folks:
* Focused on practice: A framework for adult literacy research in Canada (2006), edited by Jenny Horsman and Helen Woodrow
[pdf at http://www.decoda.ca/wp-content/uploads/FocusedOnPractice.pdf]
* Hardwired for Hope: Effective ABE/Literacy Instructors (by Battell, Twiss, Gesser, Rose and Sawyer, 2004) [http://en.copian.ca/library/research/hwired/hwired.pdf]

Plus a few reports about alternative ways of assessing progress in basic literacy:
* Naming the Magic, by Evelyn Battell (2001) [http://www.en.copian.ca/library/research/magic/magic.pdf]
* I've Opened Up: Exploring Learners' Perspectives on Progress by Kaskens, Lefebvre,Belding,Brehaut, Dermer, Lord, McKay and Sookermany [http://library.copian.ca/item/6008]

And here is a link to the Learning Circles Project, which was a national study of how to make all kinds of gatherings inclusive places to learn... [http://www.learningcircles.ca/index.htm]
The researchers looked at indigenous learning circles, urban learning circles and rural learning circles. Its findings are relevant as we think through how to strengthen networks beyond adult literacy and basic education by showing how literacy work is relevant to potential allies in the quest for social inclusion.
