Conversation Circles

Individual Group Summaries

In the Spring of 2001, a number of conversation circles were held with adult women learners. Women talked in groups about these things:

  • If you felt like reading something and you stretched out your hand to the table and the reading material was sitting right there, what would it be? What would you want to read? What would you like to read?  
  • What do you wish you could understand? What do you want to learn about? What topics do you want to read about? 
  • What are some of the things you've read that you really enjoy? 
  • What helps you to understand your lfe as a woman?

     

    Each group agreed on the summary of their conversation.

    You can read the summary of each individual group.
