Building from Marx: Race, Gender, and Learning

This symposium will examine the development of a Marxist-Feminist framework for adult education through the discussion of several ongoing research projects and is intended to contribute to the critical and feminist theorizing of adult learning and education. The authors gathered for this symposium have been collaborating on a theoretical research project in the development of a Marxist theory of education extended through feminist notions of difference, identity, consciousness, social relations, and learning. This work includes both original empirical studies and theoretical analysis to examine the sites, theories, and practices of adult education from a Marxist-Feminist perspective.
