Examining physiological and self‐report indicators of empathy during learners’ interaction with a queer history app
Mobile apps take advantage of the ubiquity of mobile phones and can be used to share unique pedagogical experiences with multimedia content not yet available in curriculums. This preliminary study used a quasi‐experimental pretest‐posttest design to examine changes in self‐reported empathy toward sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) minority people. We also report on the associations between gender and a physiological measure of emotiona…
Undergraduate Adult Education in the Contemporary Neoliberal University
In contemporary times, undergraduate adult education programs have to respond to changing student profiles and needs, institutional requirements, marketplace and workplace demands, and emerging technologies. Students in these programs tend to be non-traditional learners who are usually older and employed. They come with an array of prior learning experiences in life, work, and community contexts. These motivated learners have diverse reasons for …
Counteracting fabricated anti-gay public pedagogy in Uganda with strategic lifelong learning as critical action
Political, cultural and social fallout following the introduction of the anti-homosexuality bill in Uganda in 2009 intensified fabrication of an anti-gay public pedagogy of negation and nemesis that fuelled the passage of the Anti-Homosexuality Act, 2014. The Government of Uganda, conventional Anglicanism and US evangelical Christianity were all implicated in developing this homophobic public pedagogy. This article provides an extensive account o…
A periodization of North American adult education (1919–1970)
This article provides a critical sociological analysis of trends and perspectives pervasive during the emergence of North American adult education (1919–1970). In discussing transitions during the first 50 years of what is considered modern practice, it draws on Webster E. Cotton's (1986, On Behalf of Adult Education: A Historical Examination of the Supporting Literature. Boston, MA: Center for the Study of Liberal Education for Adults) periodiza…
The decline of social education and the rise of instrumentalism in North American adult education (1947–1970)
In 1947 the Truman Commission on Higher Education accentuated the importance of adult education in its report entitled Higher Education for American Democracy. In 1970 a new US Handbook of Adult Education signifying the move to a more professionalised field of study and practice was published. The intervening years encapsulate a time of profound cultural changes marked by scientific and technological advances intertwined with Cold War adjustments…
Gay and bisexual male youth as educator activists and cultural workers
This paper considers how three Canadian high‐school students—Ryan, Jeremy, and Bruce—engaged in queer critical praxis intended to free lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans‐identified, and queer (LGBTQ) students from the silence, exclusion, and symbolic and physical violence that heterosexism and homophobia provoke in schools. We, the authors, construct the students' biographical ethnographies to help us explore their lived and learned experiences in rel…
The Charisma and Deception of Reparative Therapies
In this article, I examine the history and resurgence of interest in sexual reorientation or reparative therapies. I begin with a critique of the contemporary "ex-gay" movement, interrogating Exodus as the prototype of a politico-religious transformational ministry that works to "cure" homosexuals, and examine how Exodus utilizes ex-gay testimony to deceive harried homosexuals looking for escape from the effects of internalized and cultural homop…
Writing the queer self
Positioning queer in adult education
In this paper w/e provide a North American perspective as w/e explore the formation and comprehension of queer knowledge in adult education and in larger sociocultural contexts. W/e consider the need to position queer in adult education mindful of how queer is historically and currently positioned in culture and society. In doing so, w/e articulate queer—a term representing our spectral community that incorporates a diversity of sex, sexual, and …
Lifelong learning as a chameleonic concept and versatile practice
This essay focuses on contemporary lifelong‐learning discourse as it was reflected in deliberations during three events held in Australia, Canada and the UK during 2000–01. Through the dialogical lenses of these Y2K events that brought together an array of international participants, it examines lifelong learning as a chameleonic concept and versatile practice in education and culture. It considers how participants at the three events framed life…
Using autobiographical queer life narratives of teachers to connect personal, political and pedagogical spaces
Autobiographical queer life narratives are communicative spaces where queer teachers take up personal issues of being, becoming, and belonging in contextual and relational analyses of their situated experiences. In this work w/e consider the challenges and risks involved in this research, which, when shared and probed in classroom spaces, is a dangerous exposition of the queer self. With these challenges and risks in mind, w/e examine how our nar…
Canadian and US adult learning (1945-1970) and the cultural politics and place of lifelong learning
Canadian and US adult learning (1945–1970) and the cultural politics and place of lifelong learning
This essay examines adult learning in Canada and the USA (1945–1970). It explores this emergence in relation to moves to establish academic adult education as a cultural force that could help citizen learners to negotiate a way forward amid the collision of instrumental, social, and cultural change forces altering life, learning, and work in the emerging postindustrial society. In this regard, it focuses centrally on lifelong learning as an idea …
Building a knowledge base in US academic adult education (1945–70)
Knowledge production in US academic adult education (1945–70) altered significantly in the light of apparently pervasive and permanent post-war economic and cultural change forces that transformed both the individual and the social. This paper explores this in relation to a post-war knowledge explosion that equated knowledge with productivity in a way that raised serious questions around which knowledge was of most worth. It reflects critically o…

Striking a critical pose
The first part of this essay, entitled ‘The Andragogy Debate: Twenty‐five Years of Deliberation’, examines the evolution of North American andragogy. It presents the changing views of researchers in a chronological dismantling of andragogy as a theory of adult learning. It provides a brief account of Knowles's influences in order to place andragogy in perspective as a set of assumptions about adult learning made fragile by what is missing. To exp…
