The Power of Dialogue in Adult Learning
How do adults learn? They learn best when they are in dialogue, when they are engaged, when they are the subjects (that is, the decision-makers) of their own education and not just objects, and when their cultural and personal context is understood.

Liberative Learning: A look at CPE through the Lens of Black Feminist and Womanist Theology
