Living in a remote Garifuna village in Honduras, Juanita had dropped out of school after the sixth grade. In 1996, a new educational program, \u003ci\u003eSistema de Aprendizaje Tutorial\u003c\/i\u003e (Tutorial Learning System or SAT), was started in her community. The program helped her see the world differently and open a small business. \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Empowering women through education has become a top priority of international development efforts. Erin MurphyGraham draws on more than a decade of qualitative research to examine the experiences of Juanita and eighteen other women who participated in the SAT program. Their narratives suggest the simple yet subtle ways education can spark the empowerment process, as well as the role of men and boys in promoting gender equality.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Drawing on indepth interviews and classroom observation in Honduras and Uganda, MurphyGraham shows the potential of the SAT program to empower women through expanded access and improved quality of secondary education in Latin America and Africa. An appendix provides samples of the classroom lessons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Erin Murphy-Graham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0826518281\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826518286\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vanderbilt University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Erin Murphy-Graham","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48013818822911,"sku":"9780826518286","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_65274525-0460-4bb8-b080-592f80a5b2b0.jpg?v=1767744965","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/opening-minds-improving-lives-erin-murphy-graham-9780826518286","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
