Articles

Introduction

In an effort to make the PLP website a dynamic, consistent resource for PLP fellows, we encourage fellows, faculty, and staff to submit articles or other creations for posting online. This “virtual library” is meant to highlight innovative work and ideas from the PLP fellow community at large, as well as promote dialogue and exchange around issues that inform their collective work. Please send submissions to Aaron Katz or Anita Verna Crofts for posting. While submissions in English are preferred so that everyone can benefit by reading the piece, articles in languages other than English are more than welcome.
