If it doesn't require of you a lot of explanation, I would be very interested in knowing which models of adult development your class discussed. Many thanks, Suzanne ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daphne Greenberg" <ALCDGG@langate.gsu.edu> To: "Multiple recipients of list" <nifl-womenlit@literacy.nifl.gov> Sent: Thursday, October 03, 2002 10:51 AM Subject: [NIFL-WOMENLIT:2322] theories of development and gender > In my graduate adult learning class, we have been reviewing different theories of development, noting which models have been tested only on men, which only on women, and which on both genders. We made an interesting observation the other night-those models that have been tested only on men are utilized as if they are true for everyone, those models that have been tested only on women are utilized as if they are true only for women. This shows how men are considered the "norm" and women are considered "the other." In addition only if models are tested on both men and women can we really know if the model is accurate for both or only one gender. For example- "women's ways of knowing." Since this theory has only been tested on women, how do we know that men also don't fit into this model? > Daphne > > Daphne Greenberg > Associate Director > Center for the Study of Adult Literacy > Georgia State University > University Plaza > Atlanta, GA 30303-3083 > phone: 404-651-0127 > fax:404-651-4901 > dgreenberg@gsu.edu >
