Various people have been talking about equity issues
both in literacy and in research-in-practice.

A group of us gathered in the spring of 2007 to talk about
what kind of workshops we could have.
Two thought-provoking and challenging half-day workshops about
equity issues in literacy programs took place in May.

The workshops were called
Reflect, Re-name, Re-imagine Our Work:
Equity and Diversity Speaking Through Zines

The workshops were facilitated by Jay Pitter,
a cultural manager and popular educator,
trained in and deeply committed to anti-oppression and equity.

We were encouraged to explore through an interactive
and arts-based approach,
reflecting, re-naming, and re-imagining
our literacy work in the context of equity and diversity.
