Feminism, Adult Education and Creative Possibility Summary

Feminism, Adult Education and Creative Possibility: Imaginative Responses by Darlene E. Clover (University of Victoria, Canada)

This book argues that feminist aesthetics as practices of adult education can inform our responses to gendered, racial, class and ecological injustices. It illustrates the critical, creative, and provocative pedagogical theorising, research, and engagement work of feminist adult educators and researchers who work in diverse community, institutional, and social movement contexts across North America and Europe. This book captures the complexity, diversity, energy, and imagination of those who theorise, decolonise, facilitate, investigate, visualize, story, and create within the politics of gender (in)justice and radical change.

Feminism, Adult Education and Creative Possibility Reviews

This book is a brilliant tapestry of courage, hope, and radical feminist imagination, visualizing change while dispelling invisibility and silence. Whilst deeply urgent and brimming over with important insights of decolonisation, it is also diverse in mediums and genre, reflecting an attempt of the feminist imaginary to be inclusive and bold. * Carole Roy, Professor, Dept. of Adult Education, St. Francis Xavier University, Canada *
This inspiring and wide-ranging text illustrates how care, love, hope, and relationality informed a diverse collection of feminist, intersectional, imaginative aesthetic projects. Readers will learn how photography, autobiography, storytelling, curation, witnessing, mapping, and writing love letters among others both illuminated and subverted the mechanics of multiple forms of gender injustice. * Shauna Butterwick, Professor Emeritus, Educational Studies, University of British Columbia, Canada *
This is an important and highly distinctive collection of work. It brings together, for the first time, a range of outstanding material in feminist aesthetic adult education. It is extraordinarily diverse and inclusive with respect to the voices heard and the aesthetic methods discussed. The edition offers new insights and inspiration for adult educators everywhere. * Christine Jarvis, Professor Emerita of Adult Education, University of Huddersfield, UK *
This fascinating text speaks to us in formerly silenced voices in imaginative and creative ways, disrupting dominant narratives of oppression by calling attention to them in artful ways. Art installation, photographic representation, theatre, fiction and other art forms are explored, exemplifying the endless possibilities of art to provoke conscious action. * Randee Lipson Lawrence, National Louis University (Emeritus), USA *
