Description

This article examines the work of Highlander Research and Education Center, as founded by Myles Horton and others, implemented by staff, and experienced by program participants. Interviews with 8 program participant adult educators and community leaders illustrate Highlander's educational principles and practices, which are briefly compared with transformative educational principles and practices subsequently identified by Freire, with whom Horton ultimately met and compared notes; Mezirow, who later popularized a theory of transformative learning; and others.
