Dr. Elenore Long,
Director


Throughout her graduate career, Elenore worked at the Community Literacy Center, both to coordinate mentors and to conduct (with a team of others) the Center's initial educational research. Her dissertation, entitled The rhetoric of literate social action: Mentors negotiating intercultural images of literacy, is the fruition of these joint roles. After completing a post-doctoral fellowship with the National Center for the Study of Writing and Literacy, she took a post as an assistant professor of Communications at nearby Robert Morris College. A joint-appointment between the Community Literacy Center and Robert Morris College has permitted Elenore to continue working at the CLC, doing what she loves to do: writing with teenagers; interrogating borders and boundaries; making events happen; and discussing, reading and thinking about some of the most interesting issues of our day. With Linda Flower, Elenore edits the Community Literacy Network Newsletter.
