The Adult Learner: The Definitive Classic in Adult Education and Human Resource Development by\u00a0Malcolm S. Knowles, Richard A. Swanson<\/a>. 2012<\/h5>\n

The startling result is that more of public education’s assets and resources are moving to the private sector and to the prison industrial complex. Drawing on various forms of evidence-structural, economic, narrative, and youth-generated participatory research-the authors reveal new structures and circuits ofdispossession and privilege that amount to a clear failure of present policy.\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
