EXCELLENT ! @Slatefr via @Bebeguide Littérature enfantine : raconte-moi une histoire non-sexiste ow.ly/8XWPF #thinkEQUAL #égalité
La loi prévoit d'informer les enfants sur les préjugés sexistes «à tous les stades de la scolarité». Mais pour ça il faut déjà que leurs éducateurs soient formés à les déceler, par exemple dans la littérature enfantine. Delete the scoop?

Back in the summer, dotMomming featured a series of interviews with Patrick Cox of the Childhood Studies Program at Rutgers University. Patrick was teaching classes on learning to read in the digital age, and we believe the work he and his colleagues are doing is important to understanding how digital books impact early literacy development for today's generation of children. But that research might be coming to a halt, and what follows is a special guest post from Patrick about how you can help keep programs like his alive. Delete the scoop?

Fourth time lucky for Julian Barnes, who wins the Man Booker prize 2011 for his novel The Sense of an Ending after missing out on three previous occasions...
Accepting the prize, Barnes thanked the judges for their wisdom and the sponsors for their cheque. He also offered some advice to publishers: "Those of you who have seen my book, whatever you think of its contents, will probably agree it is a beautiful object. And if the physical book, as we've come to call it, is to resist the challenge of the ebook, it has to look like something worth buying, worth keeping." Delete the scoop?
