Book Description

The authors draw upon their earlier research examining how feminists have negotiated identity and learning in international contexts or multisector environments. Feminism in Community focuses on feminist challenges to lead, learn, and participate in nonprofit organizations, as well as their efforts to enact feminist pedagogy through arts processes, Internet fora, and critical community engagement. The authors bring a focused energy to the topic of women and adult learning, integrating insights of pedagogy and theory-informed practice in the fields of social movement learning, transformative learning, and community development. The social determinants of health, spirituality, research partnerships, and policy engagement are among the contexts in which such learning occurs. In drawing attention to the identity and practice of the adult educator teaching and learning with women in the community, the authors respond to gender mainstreaming processes that have obscured women as a discernible category in many areas of practice.

Book Description

The purpose of this study was to explore how women adult educators use feminist pedagogy in transnational adult education settings. Three research questions guided this study 1. What are the teaching philosophies, personal beliefs, feminist strategies, and sources of wisdom (practices) that feminist adult educators report in their teaching? 2. What feminist topics or issues (episodes) have feminist adult educators described as occurring? 3. What kinds of feminist classroom activities (encounters) do feminist adult educators describe and how do these connect to their previously described feminist practices? Feminist qualitative interviews were conducted with eight women adult educators using feminist pedagogy in transnational adult education settings. The researcher identified three conclusions. First, the women adult educators in this study embraced a political intersectional and transnational feminist teaching philosophy that was influenced by their individual ethics, their social justice-based activist practices, and an understanding grounded in feminist consciousness. Next, the women in this study constructed practices that were learner-centered, responsive to the context, and strategic in mining current events and the students' lived experiences for teachable moments that guided the discussions and learning. Finally, the women in this study negotiated their tense, politically charged learning environments by selecting seemingly neutral activities that, when enacted, contained implicit and explicit components promoting critical thinking. 2This study has implications for literature on feminist pedagogy in adult and higher education by addressing the impact of educators' ability and attempts to use feminist pedagogy despite pervasive neoliberal and postfeminist constraints in transnational adult education settings. This study has implications for practice in its illumination of multiple pathways for using feminist pedagogy with adults and the politics of claiming and naming feminism in transnational adult education practice.

Book Description

Feminist popular education has developed in recent decades, as this book abundantly demonstrates. It is an important form of social activism, in dialogue with major strands of feminist practice and theory. Drawing on and critiquing the tradition of community education and political work associated with Paulo Freire, as well as the fields of adult education and feminist pedagogy, its concerns are the education methodologies and learning strategies that lead to women's empowerment. This book is a collection of critical reflections on feminist adult education work in grassroots organizations, development projects, formal institutions and community education programmes in a wide variety of countries including South Africa, India, the United States, Canada, Malaysia, the Philippines and Australia. The contributors come from a variety of positions in the range of feminist discourses and enliven their focus on methodology with engaging shifts between personal narrative, experiential analysis, theoretical contextualization and evocative description. Their willingness to be self-critical and to experiment with new applications of concepts and practices make this book a valuable addition to an increasingly important field.

Book Description

Representative of a wide range of adult education and lifelong learning frameworks and experiences, this book gives voice to emerging perspectives and offers thought-provoking critiques of established practices and accepted theories. Those in the adult education academy, as well as other voices often excluded from the discourse in adult education, offer critiques of the social, political, economic, and historical forms of hegemony in the discipline. They analyze the ways in which these hegemonic norms and practices have affected adult learning environments and the participation rates of varying groups and shed light on how adult education as a field of practice can marginalize individuals based on their ethnicity, race, gender, class, language, age, or sexual orientation. These critiques provide a powerful statement about silence, invisibility, and the marginalization of the other, and suggest that adult educators may complicitly, if not implicitly, marginalize adult learners. This book will provide professors and students, adult literacy teachers, corporate trainers, community-based organizers, and others with alternative ways to think about adult education practice, adult learners, and the multiple, intersecting realities that influence the teaching/learning transaction. In so doing, this book provides practitioners and academicians with a forum to dialog about emerging theories and practices, and through the discourse they can begin to merge theories and practices through language that is accessible and inclusive.
