    (2005-11-21T18:23:41Z) Glowacki-Dudka, Michelle; Wise, Meg
    Adult educators, working in non-traditional interdisciplinary settings, sit at the confluence of where the margins of several disciplines meet to exchange ideas on how to advance theory and practice to facilitate adult learning. This paper uses two case studies of how adult educators work in interdisciplinary non-traditional adult education organizational settings—a state-level family literacy initiative and an interdisciplinary online adult patient education research and development program—to improve programs that facilitate adult learning. The paper concludes with a discussion of barriers to and strategies for integrating adult education principles into mainstream programs.
