Welcome
to the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Allies Caucus of
the Adult Education Research Conference (AERC)
The Adult
Education Research Conference is an annual conference that provides
a forum for adult education researchers to share their experiences
and the results of their studies with students, other researchers,
and practitioners from around the world. In a sense, the AERC
is also a retreat for members of the adult education community;
an informal, collegial gathering where all are encouraged to
enter into lively debate over the future direction of research
in adult education. The Conference has a number of Support Groups/Caucuses
associated with it.
The AERC Lesbian,
Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer & Allies Caucus is open
to anyone who attends the annual Conference gatherings. Its
purpose is:
|
To
promote the improvement of research and evaluation in
adult education on topics of importance to the lesbian,
gay, bisexual, transgender and queer communities. |
|
|
To
foster professional collaboration among persons who
promote research, conduct research or utilize research
findings on topics related to LGBT and Queer issues
in the field of adult education. |
|
|
To
offer support, collegiality, and a safe space for dialogue
to LBGTQ faculty and students at the AERC and beyond. |
|
|
Through
our Mentoring Project, offer feedback to students interested
in presenting or publishing papers in the field of adult
education on topics related to LGBTQ research, practice
or theory. |
|

in the field of adult education's intersection with
LGBTQ interests. |
