In Alberta today there is a need for public discourse that considers hydrocarbons and oil wealth on the one hand, and public literacy and political engagement on the other. How do other oil-rich states manage their resources to ensure that all citizens remain healthy, well-educated, and literate? What is the relationship between provincial and national material wealth and the literacy rate? Is there a correlation between literacy and political engagement? Can the priorities of a resource economy ever eliminate illiteracy or create conditions by which the rate of literacy and political participation would improve? Join us as we begin this discourse.
