The power of critical theory for adult learning and teaching

Using quotes from the theorists' works, this book shows how critical theory illuminates the everyday practices of adult educators and helps them make sense of the dilemmas, contradictions and frustrations they experience in their work. It also reviews adult educational practices and looks at what it means to teach critically.
