Dear Sylvia
I found your infografic ‘Levels of listening’ on Twitter – may I use use that for my teaching for the charity Understanding Dementia? It’s very important in dementia care. Mo st people assume that the person with dementia is unlikely to have anything useful to say, but that misses the point, as well as usually being untrue.

Hello, I’m writing from the Alberta Teachers’ Association with a permission request. We would like to request permission to use your graphic of the wheel of Power/Privilege in an article that discusses how teachers can address the tragedy of residential schools. This article will appear as part of an academic journal that we publish for religion teachers across Alberta. The journal is free to our members and is printed and distributed to about 300 teachers provincewide. I’m asking for your permission to reprint this graphic on behalf of the author of the article, Angela Houle, who found this graphic on the Canadian Council for Refugees website. Thank you.
