Popular Education: Adult Education For Social Change, Sandra Kerka

Partnerships/Community

Popular education is a form of adult education that encourages learners to examine their lives critically and take action to change social conditions. It is "popular" in the sense of being "of the people." Popular education emerged in Latin America in the 1960s-1970s; Paulo Freire is its best known exponent. However, its roots may be found in the French Revolution, in workers' education of the 1920s-1930s, and in such movements as the Highlander Folk School in Tennessee (Beder 1996; Jeria 1990). The goal of popular education is to develop "people's capacity for social change through a collective problem-solving approach emphasizing …

Vendanta And Modern Science: Some Demarcation Criteria And Commonalities, Varadaraja V. Raman

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

In the past centuries, Western scholars who studied the complexities of Indian thought had at least two motivations. First, there was a need to understand the alien mind-set which they were eager to ameloriate (convert), for they worked on the conviction that they were bringing truth, light, and salvation to a misguided lot. They felt that it was their evangelical responsibility to redeem lost souls. Some of them, whether overtly or subtly, wanted to give moral ammunition to the colonial governments which were summarily imposing Western values and worldview on the subject peoples.

How Should Religion And Science Be Creatively Related? A Christian Perspective, Robert John Russell

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

Each of us, Hindu and Christian alike, must seek each other's wisdom on one of the fundamental issues of our time: how should we relate religion and science? On the one hand, each of us has been formed and shaped by, and has inherited the wisdom and blessing of one of the world's great religions, and we should be committed to the dialogue between, and the mutual enrichment of, these religions. Through these religions, we are invited to practise compassion, to seek justice, to obtain enlightenment, to live in harmony with the natural world, and to find healing, forgiveness, and …
