MASTERS IN EDUCATION - COMMUNITY-BASED PROGRAMME
"COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP AND ADULT EDUCATION FOR SOCIAL, CULTURAL, AND
ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE"
JULY 2007 - AUGUST 2009
FACULTY OF EDUCATION, UNIVERSITY OF VICTORIA

In today's disruptive climate of economic restructuring, globalisation,
cultural homogenisation, education and health cutbacks, un and
underemployment, resource depletion and environmental degradation,
growing
racism and intolerance, war and violence, it is important that we
develop
creative and critical practices of working, organising and educating in
communities and the workplace. In response, Leadership Studies in the
Faculty of Education at the University of Victoria, B.C. is in the
process of developing a second Masters of Education community-based
programme titled
"Community Leadership and Adult Education for Social, Cultural, and
Environmental Change."


The programme will begin in July 2007 and have a strong international
focus.
The emphasis is on community leadership and adult education as processes
that promote empowerment, critical debate, creativity and imagination,
democratic citizenship, environmental sustainability, community
building, social action, anti-racism, and media, cultural and aesthetic
literacies. Students in this cohort will explore theories and practices
around:

* social movement learning
* community arts-based research (and other research methods)
* healthy and learning communities
* poetry and peace
* community cultural development
* democracy, citizenship, governance and globalisation
* environmental justice and adult education
* feminist pedagogy and leadership
* anti-racism and cultural diversity
* popular education, transformative learning, adult education and
lifelong learning
* organisational theory and workplace learning

Professors in the programme will be national and international scholars
in
adult education and lifelong learning and in addition to Canada, will
come
from countries such as South Africa, India, Argentina and Australia.
Structure:
1) Classes held on campus for one-month in July 2007
2) Classes by distance from September 2007 - June 2008
3) Classes on campus July 2008
4) Student project work (in your community) from September 2008-August
