Here are some names of educators whose writing/practice have made

especially valuable regarding connecting adult education practice to
concepts within critical theory)

Henry Giroux

Antonia Darder

Vanessa Sheared

Peggy Sissel

Hi,
Lenore Balliro here from World Education in Boston. I have enjoyed
reading the "Big Names" thread, and I've been having fun looking  up
some of the people I didn't know. I'd like to add some names as well.

Mina Shaughnessy, especially Errors and Expectations
Ira Shor, especially Critical Teaching and Everyday Life
Brian Street
Patricia Carrell
Janet Isserlis (my first ESOL mentor)
Elsa Auerbach
Susan Lytle
Pat Rigg
John Trimbur
Stanley Eagleton

Like others on the list, I owe a debt to Shirley Brice Heath, John Ogbu,
Jim Gee, Peter Elbow, both Goodmans, and Frank Smith. And to Stanley
Fish and Richard Rorty for helping me to deconstruct Cartesean
polarities.

Adult Literacy or literacy in general? In general, I would suggest Chall
and Clay for starters. Although they both focused on children, their
substantial work is very relevant to what we do in adult literacy every
day.

I am curious who you would consider to be big names in literacy, both
historically and currently?
