G.E.D In 3 Voices: Reconsidering What We Perceive As “Deficits”, C. Amelia Davis Jun 2010

G.E.D In 3 Voices: Reconsidering What We Perceive As “Deficits”, C. Amelia Davis

Adult Education Research Conference

In this research, I experiment re-presenting particular stories through poetic texts that contextualize and capture rich detail while honoring difference in experience between GED students and instructors. Drawing upon the evocative and consequential nature of performative writing I attempt to weave images through meaning, inviting readers to fill in the gaps, noting places where they are pushed to spaces that are difficult to fully understand or interpret.


Examining The Indian Farmer Suicides Through The Social And Environmental Justice Lens, Yogita Abichandani, Juanita Johnson-Bailey Jun 2010

Examining The Indian Farmer Suicides Through The Social And Environmental Justice Lens, Yogita Abichandani, Juanita Johnson-Bailey

Adult Education Research Conference

Approximately 200,000 farmers have committed suicide in India over the last decade. A majority of them are the ones who have been failed by the non- yield of genetically modified cotton per hectare and are dependent on these crops for their daily livelihood. The GM cottonseeds represent the hegemony and oppression of the farmers propelled by the globalization movement. This paper provides an understanding that the social movements against the GM seeds are in fact movements pointing towards the social and environmental injustices and seeks to understand the role adult education can play in addressing the social and environmental injustice.


Media Literacy As An Inquiry-Based Framework For Exploring Desocialization, Iris Metzgen-Ohlswager Jun 2010

Media Literacy As An Inquiry-Based Framework For Exploring Desocialization, Iris Metzgen-Ohlswager

Adult Education Research Conference

Our educational landscape is dramatically changing; youth and adults have access to more information than ever before in history. As a world we have embraced technology with open arms, but rarely have reflected on its implications or actively educated people on how to deconstruct the endless stream of messages. Media literacy or the ability to access, analyze, evaluate, and create media, and can be used as an inquiry-based framework for exploring desocialization in the classroom, community, or workplace.


“It’S The Physical Versus The Emotional”: Using Poetics To Re-Present The Power Of Art In The Nursing Clinical Experience, Carrie Bailey, C. Amelia Davis Jun 2010

“It’S The Physical Versus The Emotional”: Using Poetics To Re-Present The Power Of Art In The Nursing Clinical Experience, Carrie Bailey, C. Amelia Davis

Adult Education Research Conference

The purpose of this exploratory qualitative study was to consider how the use of art in the post-clinical experience could broaden nursing students’ perceptions of holistic care, utilizing reflective practice and arts-based resources to increase their awareness of comprehensive patient care. Arts-based education research served as a useful curriculum tool for deep reflection in clinical nursing students’ experiences. Keeping with the tenor of arts-based research, we used poetic re-presentations as a means of maintaining students’ voices in this work. Reflections not only spanned the care provided but looked closely at patient relationships through analysis of their own clinical practice.
