Adult Education Research Conference
This paper, representing a subset of data from a larger study, provides a preliminary social analysis of a specific site of informal learning with welfare mothers in a job readiness program and the role of subjectivity and intersubjectivity in meaning making. As the women came together to talk about their experiences with each other, they were listened to, taken into account, and validated in their past experiences, current circumstances, and feelings; they also had an opportunity to learn from each other thus illuminating informal learning.

Beyond Participation And Stereotypes: Towards The Study Of Engagement In Adult Literacy Education, B. Allan Quigley
Adult Education Research Conference
Mainstream adult education framed the critical issues of literacy non-participation within its normative participation models creating a serious setback for literacy. Research. Through a review of the literacy literature and an analysis of the IALS and NALL studies, this paper discusses how undereducated adults refuse to participate in formal education, yet how they engage in informal and incidental learning. It concludes with an argument for research into how and why the undereducated engage in learning rather than participate in education.

This critical description of efforts to introduce community development processes in Ukraine to prepare the ground for civil society challenges our ability to "walk" our "talk."

The Teaching Perspectives Inventory (Tpi), Daniel D. Pratt, John B. Collins

"When You Act Like An Adult, I’Ll Treat You Like One . . .": Investigating Representations Of Adulthood In Popular Culture, Shauna Pomerantz, Amanda Benjamin
Adult Education Research Conference
Our paper critiques the traditional "What is an adult?" debate. Using television as text, we examine untraditional representations of adulthood in order to keep the term "adult" in constant play. We suggest the need to move away from fixed notions of maturity in lieu of a fluid understanding that is mediated by social and historical specificities.
