“Knowing One’S Self”: Selfwriting, Power And Ethical Practice, Valerie-Lee Chapman
“Knowing One’S Self”: Selfwriting, Power And Ethical Practice, Valerie-Lee Chapman
Adult Education Research Conference
Adult educators are increasingly concerned with issues of power and identity. Drawing on my research text, The Body’s Tale, and Foucault’s writings, I explore how pastoral power effects construct subjectivities. Using three genealogical narratives—of eating, elimination and swarming—I show how we can interrupt self-regulation, and through self-writing, develop an embodied ethical practice.

Theorizing The Effects Of Class, Gender, And Race On Adult Learning In Nonformal And Informal Settings, Margaret L. Cain

Using The Internet For Informal Learning About Joining The Brain Drain: A Qualitative Central/East European And Pacific Perspective, Roger Boshier

The Internet greatly expedites the process of “shooting through” from one’s home country. An online survey of Slovaks, New Zealanders and others suggests the Internet expedites leaving home – largely because of its informality and the way it erodes official control.

Women's Learning And Development Across Borders: Insights From Anglophone Caribbean Immigrant Women In The United States, Mary V. Alfred
Women's Learning And Development Across Borders: Insights From Anglophone Caribbean Immigrant Women In The United States, Mary V. Alfred
Adult Education Research Conference
This study examined the learning and development experiences of English-speaking Caribbean immigrant women from a cross-cultural context. Using Belenky's model of women's ways of knowing, the study found that self-agency, culture, social capital, and the sociocultural environment influence the epistemological position that a woman occupies. The study also found that women move freely among these positions, depending on the context of the experience.
