Exploring Ways To Investigate Instructors’ Roles In Facilitating Transformative Learning Processes For International Students, Lee W. Nabb, Kristi Archuleta Frush
Adult Education Research Conference
The purpose of this roundtable session is to identify, and develop ideas and methods to research ways in which face-to-face and online instructors of international students can most effectively facilitate positive transformation. The transitions and challenges that international students often experience will be discussed as well as varying perspectives about how these adult learners can be optimally supported. The benefits and limitations of previous research methods used to investigate international students’ transformation will be explored.
The Kitchen Table: Alternative Perspectives On Program Planning, Shauna Butterwick, Thomas J. Sork
The Kitchen Table: Alternative Perspectives On Program Planning, Shauna Butterwick, Thomas J. Sork
Adult Education Research Conference
The literature on program planning in adult education has been dominated by the technical-rational perspectives of a largely white, male, North American group of scholars. We note why this gap is problematic for the field and introduce a new generative metaphor, the kitchen table. This metaphor opens up a space for deliberation about aesthetic and feminist considerations, as well as directing attention to non-Western approaches, particularly ideas about community collaboration from an Indigenous perspective
Conducting Community-Engaged Research In Academia, Patsy Medina
Conducting Community-Engaged Research In Academia, Patsy Medina

Shauna discusses her experiences with a partnership project with a Filipino women’s organization, and Tom draws on his interest in program planning, and offers some observations and reflective questions about how these changes may influence our practice

An Insider Perspective On A Research Study Entitled: How Black Men Who Have Sex With Men (Bmsm) Learn To Cope With Homophobia And Racism, Lawrence Bryant
Adult Education Research Conference
Being an insider in conducting qualitative research (interviews) is oftentimes more multifaceted and complex than usually recognized. However, many researchers agree that this positionality has many benefits. One such benefit is greater insight and awareness not afforded to outsiders.
An Ethnographic Perspective Of The Chautauqua Institution, Allie Brown
An Ethnographic Perspective Of The Chautauqua Institution, Allie Brown
Adult Education Research Conference
This paper discusses a year long study of the Chautauqua Institution. I used a variety of learning methods in order to gain a better understanding of this uniquely American phenomenon. I conducted telephone interviews with staff, frequently visited the official website and reviewed literature. A week long stay at the Chautauqua Institution during the summer season, afforded me the opportunity to experience the educational offerings and interview other participants and staff. Findings from this cultural immersion experience are discussed in this paper. Implications for future study of the Chautauqua Institution are suggested. Additionally, suggestions for other adult learners desiring to …

Adult Education Research Conference
This study was an investigation into adolescent male’s perception of parenting styles and their ability to cope with problematic experiences and attachment to parents/caregivers and peers, with emphasis on one inmate (WC) in particular, who was the subject of a case study. All of the adolescents in this study were all at- risk for incarceration given their problem behavior and prior affiliation with the juvenile justice system with the exception of WC, who spent sixteen years in prison.

Gay Black Men At Midlife: Learning Self Acceptance, Lorenzo Bowman, Lawrence Bryant
Gay Black Men At Midlife: Learning Self Acceptance, Lorenzo Bowman, Lawrence Bryant
Adult Education Research Conference
This paper presents the findings of an analysis of three autoethnographies of Black gay men at midlife. The findings indicate that Black gay men experience themselves as silenced from an early age. Further, Black gay men actively work to conceal their sexual orientation in response to social expectations. Black gay men “evolve” to a point of self acceptance at midlife rather than abruptly “coming out” and Black gay men reach out to their communities at midlife in an apparent need to give back.

Humanism, Racial Perceptions And Identity Development In An Adult Classroom Setting: An Empirical Study, Rose Borunda, Carissa Brehm, Courtenay Tessler, Nancy Padrick
Adult Education Research Conference
This qualitative study provides outcome data that documents shifts in self identity and in cross racial perceptions when historical and modern day white humanist Euro-American models are introduced to students in two pre-graduate level classes. Classroom facilitation about the models and their work provided positive archetypes to counter capitalist images that have traditionally been touted as this nation’s “heroes.”

Community Education And Training Transfer: Meaningful Border Crossing?, Lashonda Coulbertson, Rosemary Closson
Adult Education Research Conference
Community Health Advisors (CHAs) bridge the health and knowledge gap in marginalized communities. A program was implemented to train CHAs to educate women about their health. The challenges of the transfer of this and similar training is often unreported. The training transfer model serves as the framework for this discussion.

Transitioning California's Adults: Providing 21st Century Education To Meet 21st Century Demands, Debra Jones, Marianne Fedele, Marian Thacher
Adult Education Research Conference
For the first time in its history the United States is the only highly-developed democracy where the current generation of young adults is less likely to have completed high school than the previous generation. There are currently more than 12 million adults without a high school diploma in the workforce. In California one of every three students do not graduate from high school and four of five students enter the community college system unable to do college level work. Adult educators play a critical role in helping these students succeed and transition to further education and career opportunities.

Beyond Illiteracy And Poverty: Theorizing The Rise In Black Women’S Incarceration, Mary V. Alfred, Dominique T. Chlup
Beyond Illiteracy And Poverty: Theorizing The Rise In Black Women’S Incarceration, Mary V. Alfred, Dominique T. Chlup
Adult Education Research Conference
This paper explores the impact of poverty and low literacy on the increase in Black women’s incarceration. Using critical race theory as a guiding framework, we present the argument that neoliberal policies of welfare reform and crime control laws are primary reasons for the increase. We emphasize gender-responsive strategies in planning programs for low-income, low-literate, and incarcerated women.
Facilitating A Collaborative Approach To E-Learning For Program Planners, Instructor Training And Technology Leadership, Sandra Ratcliff Daffron, Sarah Diruscio, Ed Webster
Facilitating A Collaborative Approach To E-Learning For Program Planners, Instructor Training And Technology Leadership, Sandra Ratcliff Daffron, Sarah Diruscio, Ed Webster
Adult Education Research Conference
Significant differences in expertise and attitudes towards e-learning technology are not uncommon between those who design the program and maintain the technology (program planners and technicians) and those who use the resources and technology (instructors and trainers). This wide disconnect between the two groups will often result in frustration and a poor quality product. Models of e-learning training and collaboration will be illustrated in three settings: higher education, secondary education, and the corporate level.

Embodied Community Engagement: Is A University-Based Program In Dialogue And Civic Engagement A Site Of Transformational Learning?, Joanna Ashworth, Peter Boothroyd, Charles Dobson, Amy Lang
Adult Education Research Conference
Recently, a mid-sized Canadian university launched a unique certificate program in dialogue and civic engagement. Taught by academics and practitioners, the program aims to synthesize diverse concepts and practices from a variety of disciplines related to civic engagement. The goal is to offer learners a mix of conceptual and practical knowledge that empowers them to become civic engagement leaders in their own communities or practice settings.
