A Phenomenological Study Of The Educational Experiences Of Black Women: Learning As You Go, Eva Young, Mary Ziegler, Kathy Greenberg
A Phenomenological Study Of The Educational Experiences Of Black Women: Learning As You Go, Eva Young, Mary Ziegler, Kathy Greenberg
Adult Education Research Conference
This research study provided a descriptive picture of educational experiences of three sets of Black sisters who grew up in the inner-city. A qualitative existential-phenomenological research study design was used to derive common themes that represented the universal essence of the participants’ experiences. This study illuminated the formal and informal learning experiences of Black women and the profound role cultural experiences of family and community play in shaping their learning experiences through adulthood. Findings suggest that the educational experiences of Black women influenced their development, voice, self-esteem, and self-defined achievement and success. These findings dispute adult development theories that suggest …

Oh, East Is East, And West Is West, And Never The Two Shall Meet: A Critical Review Of Museum Studies And Adult Education Literature, Dana Dudzinska-Prezesmitzki, Robin S. Grenier
Oh, East Is East, And West Is West, And Never The Two Shall Meet: A Critical Review Of Museum Studies And Adult Education Literature, Dana Dudzinska-Prezesmitzki, Robin S. Grenier
Adult Education Research Conference
Both museum and adult learning researchers seek to understand how to best educate adults. Despite a plethora of common areas where the two fields intersect this review found limited evidence of shared epistemological, theoretical and empirical research or “roots”. Given the mutual interests of these fields it is argued that sharing of epistemological, theoretical and empirical research would benefit both. Implications and future research opportunities are discussed.
