Counteracting Power Relationships When Planning Environmental Education.

McDonald, Barbara

New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, n69 p15-26 Spr 1996

A case study of a planning effort in a low-income community describes how power was equalized between community activists and government planners. It shows that traditionally silenced voices need support to challenge authority, planners need ethical vision, and planning can be a learning process. (SK)
