Women's Experience Of Academic Collaboration., Carolyn M. Clark, Denise B. Watson
Women's Experience Of Academic Collaboration., Carolyn M. Clark, Denise B. Watson
Adult Education Research Conference
This study examines the experience of collaboration for women academics in adult education. While the women describe a range of collaborative experiences, they place the greatest value on more complex forms of collaboration in which the self, the partner(s), and the work exist in a highly dynamic and interactive relationship. This study suggests that collaboration provides one way in which women are creating life-giving spaces for themselves within the masculinist culture of the academy.

Narratives Of Women's Sexual Identity Development: A Collaborative Inquiry With Implications For Rewriting Transformative Learning Theory., Ann K. Brooks, Kathleen Edwards
Narratives Of Women's Sexual Identity Development: A Collaborative Inquiry With Implications For Rewriting Transformative Learning Theory., Ann K. Brooks, Kathleen Edwards
Adult Education Research Conference
Transformative learning theory has attended primarily to cognition and our capacity to understand experience in terms of increasingly inclusive, discriminating, permeable, and integrative perspectives (Mezirow, 1991). However, it does not allow for an understanding of the intersubjective nature of meaning-making, nor does it address the workings of oppression or how learning occurs in relation to oppression. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to rewrite transformative learning to allow us to theorize the integration of the individual with the socio-historical and to enable the understanding of the relationship between individuals and social change.
Theoretical Perspectives On Preventing Fishing Vessel Accidents., Roger Boshier
Theoretical Perspectives On Preventing Fishing Vessel Accidents., Roger Boshier
Adult Education Research Conference
Despite the availability of new technologies, fishing vessels come to grief far too often. Prevention education is excessively functionalist and not sufficiently focused on human factors. The author interrogates the problem from contrasting theoretical perspectives and claims prevention educators should embrace subjective as well as objectivist ontologies and place power relations at the centre, not on the margins, of their efforts.

Towards Fin De Siecle: A Time To Revision Durkheim's Sociology Of Education?, Paul Armstrong
Towards Fin De Siecle: A Time To Revision Durkheim's Sociology Of Education?, Paul Armstrong
Adult Education Research Conference
This paper builds on earlier work on values and ethics that argued the need to re-vision the ideas of Emile Durkheim, by suggesting that the argument is supported by the notion of fin de siecle, which implies that the challenges of post-modernity are by no means new, and that there is evidence of a patter or even a cycle that would seem to re-appear at the end of each century. Approaching the 21st century and the millennium, the notion of fin de siecle has additional significance. But is it merely a matter of history repeating itself? And is this important …

The Politics Of Planning Culturally Relevant Aids Education For African-American Women., Elaine Archie-Booker
Adult Education Research Conference
AIDS cases are growing faster among African-American women than for any other ethnicity-gender group. Until a vaccine or cure is available, education offers the primary means to control education.
