{"product_id":"empowering-education-roger-hopkins-9781846945175","title":"Empowering Education: Educating for Community Development: A Critical Study of Methods, Theories and Values","description":"This is a book about giving people power. It is written in a style that makes community development, adult education and collective action accessible to community workers, adult education tutors and students as well as committed citizens. The author, with extensive experience of adult education and community action, examines how teaching via logical discourse, storytelling, critical thinking - and the linking of the ideas of social theorists such as Freire, Alinsky and Gramsci with community concerns about the changes driven by neoliberal policies - can generate political awareness and collective change. By providing examples of group development processes, listening skills, constructive conversation, question posing, and group focused analyzes of community work problems, the author delivers an understanding of how educators and students can learn effectively together to stimulate insight, combat power structures, assess and realize community needs, manage conflict, generate leadership and work in partnership to implement successful regeneration strategies.,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roger Hopkins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1846945178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781846945175\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Obooks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/07\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 390\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.90d","brand":"Roger Hopkins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48445800055039,"sku":"9781846945175","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_76a72956-4e36-4d3d-a618-0306da624a7b.jpg?v=1777220732","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/empowering-education-roger-hopkins-9781846945175","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
