Her thesis research, Doing Freedom: An Ethnography of an Adult Literacy Centre, explores what a dialogic, learning-centred literacy program looks like from the perspective of the people involved and asks : how are power and authority operating in this place? The purpose is to document the relationship dynamics of good adult basic education in a place where teachers and students say they are "doing freedom". The study shows how doing freedom within this educational environment means creating and maintaining a community relationship and a facilitative power system through the force of the teachers' philosophy and vision of a learner-run centre.
