| dc.description.abstract | Using feminist extensions of Marxist theory, this article argues that a Marxist-feminist
theory of adult learning offers a significant contribution to feminist pedagogical debates
concerning the nature of experience and learning. From this theoretical perspective, the
individual and the social are understood to exist in a mutually determining relationship,
with a social world conceptualized as active human practice. The primary theoretical
task is then to rearticulate the central relations of adult learning theory (the individual,
the social, and experience), which necessitates a dialectical formation of social difference and oppression. This allows for an examination of the reification of experience as a core relation of adult learning theory and a reimagining of feminist praxis. | |
