Exploring Spirituality & Culture in Adult & Higher Education Summary

Exploring Spirituality & Culture in Adult & Higher Education by EJ Tisdell

Exploring Spirituality and Culture in Adult and Higher Education is written from the unique perspective of teacher, researcher, and author Elizabeth Tisdell, who has extensive experience dealing with culture, gender, and educational equity issues in secular adult and higher education classrooms, and formerly in pastoral and religious education settings on college campuses. This important book discusses how spiritual development is informed by culture and how this knowledge is relevant to teaching and learning. For educators, an understanding of how spirituality is informed by culture, and how spirituality assists in meaning-making, can aid in their efforts to help their students' educational experiences become more transformative and culturally relevant.

Exploring Spirituality & Culture in Adult & Higher Education Reviews

This should prove to be a groundbreaking volume. Every adult educator will benefit from engaging in the conversation. (PAACE Journal of Lifelong Learning, Summer 2004) ...this book makes an important contribution to a new and growing body of knowledge. (Journal of College Student Development, December 2003) A Professor of Adult Education describes How Spirituality Can Be a Valuable Teaching Tool (By Dana Sobyra in The Chronicle of Higher Education) The work is an easy read, not overly laden with references but enough to give it authority. (TCRecord.org, 10/8/03)
