Extension Workers As Orchestrators Of Civic Renewal Through Civic Professionalism, Nancy K. Franz
Nancy K. Franz
I have a passion and a bias. I am passionate about the important role of the Cooperative Extension System (CES) in civic renewal. My bias is that extension workers (also known as agents or educators) are the key to civic renewal throughout the United States. No other institution has the same ability to reach all of America with education and organizing efforts.

There is long history of exchange between librarians and adult educators. This history not only points to previous successes but also highlights a tension of defining an appropriate focus within libraries for the provision of adult education.

Drama Praxis : Rural Arts Workers And Lifelong Learning : A Phenomenological Study, Susan E. Gibson
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
The purpose of this study is to explore and describe the experiences of a specific group of arts workers in an isolated rural community in the South West of Western Australia.

The study is based on the assumptions and pre-conceptions that geographical and cultural isolation contributes to significant problems and situations such as communication that …
