Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. While knowledge can be liberating, what counts as knowledge is contestable. Drawing on her experience in adult education, research and feminist theory and practice, Jean Barr mounts a radical challenge to current orthodoxies in adult learning and continuing education and proposes a programme of research which is geared to articulating urgent problems with people other than academics. Running through the book is the recognition that methodology underpins all theory-making. Questions of whom we hear, whom we address and how, are key methodological, epistemological and political issues. How these questions are answered is crucial to the kind of theory or knowledge which is produced. The guiding metaphor is that of 'healing the breach' between 'words and things' and between forms of knowledge which are usually separated in our culture: cerebral and emotional understanding; literary and scientific knowledge; knowledge developed 'from above' or 'from below'. "Liberating knowledge" will appeal to those interested in a radical and democratising education which reaches beyond the academy.It is particularly relevant to participants and tutors of women's studies who wish to cross the boundaries between arts, social science and natural science, and to those involved in community-based adult education. While knowledge can be liberating, what counts as knowledge is contestable. Drawing on her experience in adult education, and research, the author mounts a radical challenge to the orthodoxies in adult learning and continuing education and proposes a programme of research, geared to articulating urgent problems with people other than academics.

Paperback. Condition: New.

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…
