Thinking Hard about Culture in Adult Education: Not a Trivial Pursuit.

Hemphill, David F.

Adult Learning, v3 n7 p8-12 May 1992

Adult educators should identify their perspective on diversity: deficit/assimilation, multicultural, or empowerment. Ways to explore culture in practice include (1) exploring meanings of cultural phenomena; (2) avoiding generalizations; (3) using ethnographic techniques and participatory approaches; and (4) developing code-switching abilities.
