Notes
This adult learning theory is colonial. It is a) hierarchical, b) puts authority at the center, and c) constructs authority as beyond transformation.[2]. This is "particularly pernicious because it powerfully asserts the legitimacy of authority, thereby fixing inferiority (Williams & Brant, 2019) in the mind of the student"[3] It also ignores a critical component of Indigenous learning systems which is transformations that come via connection to various others, whether those others are in a body or not [4].
