This article narrates the contours of a digital “kitchen table talk”–a conversation that brought together WoC from various areas of literacy and language education to discuss the state of the field and the next steps in transforming literacy studies and education for GFoC. Using bell hooks’s concept of “homeplace,” we bring together the reflections of eleven WoC across intersected Black, Latina, and Asian identities to examine the realities of GFoC, the urgency around their lives and needs, as well as self-examination of our role in the academy taking up feminist projects with GFoC.

Warren Lewis’s antipathy for Mrs. Janie King Moore (1872-1951), his brother’s longtime companion and adopted “mother” is well-documented. Accordingly, it is not entirely surprising that as the years passed, Warren kept a record of Moore’s dogmatic, selfish, and condescending statements and dialogues. To these he added other examples of ‘wheezes’ that he overheard while living in The Kilns, eventually compiling what he called Mens Humana, or Kilns Table Talk. In what follows I mine Warren’s Mens Humana, offer explanatory comments, and focus in particular upon his comments regarding Moore, her daughter, Maureen, and Vera Henry, Moore’s goddaughter and occasional Kilns housekeeper. I conclude with several observations about Warren as a member of The Kilns household and as a writer.

AbstractObjectiveChildren’s dietary intake impacts weight status and a range of short- and long-term health outcomes. Accurate measurement of factors that influence children’s diet is critical to the development and evaluation of interventions designed to improve children’s diets. The purpose of the current paper is to present the development of the Table Talk observational tool to measure early care and education teachers’ (ECET) verbal feeding communications.DesignAn observational tool to assess ECET verbal communication at mealtimes was deigned based on the extant literature. Trained observers conducted observations using the tool during lunch for both lead and assistant ECET. Descriptive statistics, test–retest for a subgroup, interclass correlations for each item, and comparisons between leads and assistants were conducted.SettingHead Start centres, Southern USA.SubjectsSeventy-five Head Start educators.ResultsOn average, 17·2 total verbal feeding communications (sd8·9) were observed per ECET. For lead ECET, the most prevalent Supportive Comment was Exploring Foods whereas for assistants Making Positive Comments was the most prevalent. Overall, lead ECET enacted more Supportive Comments than assistant ECET (F(2,72)=4·8,P=0·03). The most common Unsupportive Comment was Pressuring to Eat, with a mean of 3·8 (sd4·3) and a maximum of 25. There was no difference in Unsupportive Comments between lead and assistant ECET.ConclusionsTable Talk may be a useful tool to assess verbal feeding communications of ECET, with potential applications such as informing ECET training and assessing intervention efforts.
