Speaker: Robert Davidson, Sandstone Press
An inability to read and to use literacy skills for information-handling
are key factors in social exclusion.
In this talk, Robert will focus on the failure of British literacy
policy and discuss its consequences from the point of view of a small
specialist publisher. He will also talk about the difficulties of being
a niche publisher in this market.
Robert Davidson is a poet and the founder and Managing Director of
Sandstone Press Ltd. He previously edited literary and arts magazines.
He has recently co-authored 'Shadow Behind the Sun' with Remzije
Sherifi, a Kosovan writer and broadcaster, on her experiences working
with refugees and asylum seekers.
CILIP in London evening meetings are free and open to all with a
professional interest in the topic. Refreshments will be available
afterwards. As space is limited, please let us know if you are coming.
It would be helpful to tell us how you found out about the event.
