    Expectations And Experiences With Teaching Women At A Private College In Saudi Arabia
    (Midwest Research-to-Practice Conference in Adult, Continuing, and Community Education, 2003) Glowacki-Dudka, Michelle
    The focus of this research is to understand the expectations of faculty and administration at Effat College in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. I assessed the college’s current status to understand ways to “improve the quality of education at the school” by interviewing the faculty and administration about how they saw the roles. I sought to identify and understand the many issues facing this newly established college in order to build upon its strengths and support its growth and future success. As the college was still developing policies, procedures, and systems, the faculty—mostly expatriate teachers—were very uncomfortable because the expectations and experiences differed significantly between faculty and administration.

    The Role Of Women In Popular Education In Bolivia
    (Midwest Research-to-Practice Conference in Adult, Continuing, and Community Education, 2003) Kollins, Judith M.; Hansman, Catherine A.
    In the face of poverty and long-term political instability in Bolivia, many adult educators are working towards social justice, focusing students on economic opportunities and maintaining their indigenous culture. The process is complex and often compounded by the sociocultural context in which the learning takes place, particularly when examining education and justice for women and minorities. However, in cases when the educational model takes daily life within local cultures into account (popular education), true learning and change can be seen.
