Rethinking Empowerment: Theories Of Power And The Potential For Emancipatory Praxis, Thomas Archibald, Arthur L. Wilson
Rethinking Empowerment: Theories Of Power And The Potential For Emancipatory Praxis, Thomas Archibald, Arthur L. Wilson
Adult Education Research Conference
In this paper, we make the case that “empowerment” is still a concept which requires closer scrutiny, for both practical and theoretical reasons. Building on critiques of empowerment and on calls to more consciously address the power relations inherent in adult education, we lay the groundwork for a practical theory of action whereby education practitioners and researchers can work towards salvaging empowerment’s emancipatory potential.

Symposium: “Migrations In Professional Knowledge”, Irene Malcolm, Helen Colley, Tara Fenwick, Bonnie Slade
Adult Education Research Conference
Migration has been controversial in society at large, and in adult education it has far-reaching and underexplored implications for adults’ professional learning. In this symposium we draw on an open conceptualisation of migration which encompasses the physical movement of people across regions and regulatory frameworks, and migrations in professional knowledge effected by changes in policy, and changing conditions of work. The migration of knowledge refers both to the way knowledge is carried by individuals and groups to new locations, and the way knowledge itself migrates to different professional and ethical places. We examine migration critically from four different perspectives that …

Adult Education And Lifelong Learning In The Caribbean And Latin America, Mary V. Alfred, Petra E. Robinson, Merlissa C. Alfred

In this paper, we explore the concept of adult education and lifelong learning in the Latin America and Caribbean region and situate it within the context of the CONFINTEA V, Agenda for Adult Education which was more recently reaffirmed by CONFINTEA VI. The first section provides a contextual discussion of how adult education and lifelong learning are conceptualized in the region while the second discusses the region’s response to the agenda for adult education. The third segment highlights some of the associated challenges and concludes with implications for adult educators.
