Thesis (Ph.D.)--City University of New York, 2005.

This dissertation is the result of two and a half years of ethnographic study conducted at a senior center in Manhattan investigating the experience of literacy development near the end of the life span. Three elderly women, aged 80 years or older, volunteered as case studies, and were introduced to two forms of literacy heretofore unknown to them: the internet and memoir writing. Findings indicate that the participants adapted the new literacies to their already-held world views but that learning and development did occur in small yet significant ways and was impacted by the participants' relationship to leisure, interest and need. A web site was made of two of the participants' memoirs: http://www.newmedialab.cuny.edu/beth, which is included in the appendix.
