Abstract:
Sorry, the full text of this article is not available in Huskie Commons. Please click on the alternative location to access it. ; The Latina voice, meaning the voice of a female originally from a Spanish-speaking country, is missing in much of the current education literature, the adult education literature included. This means that there are very few, if any, accounts of the formal, informal, and nonformal educational successes of this population. As a society and as educators, we must begin to make space for Latina voices so that educators can begin to understand how Latinas learn formally, informally, and nonformally, just like any other population. One way to do this is to use life history research as a means to encourage dialogue pinpointing all types of learning opportunities.This dissertation explores various learning opportunities and learning experiences of a bilingual and bicultural woman of Mexican heritage. A phenomenological case study approach was used to explore this individual's life, her life experiences, and her learning. In this way, the data collection and data analysis allowed recurrent themes to emerge. These three recurrent themes were identified as interplay among learning, survival, and spirituality; health, health care, and parish nursing; and multiple and competing contexts. The essential structure that connected them was her learning.The primary participant's formal, informal, and nonformal learning opportunities have made her a very resilient individual who has embraced the role of serving as an adult educator. Additionally, many adult education principles impacted this individual's learning, further strengthening her own life experiences as well as those of others. The combination of her learning and various adult education principles, then, has allowed the research subject to develop her own understanding of her learning and her own form of teaching from which many others learn.It is imperative to note that Monica and her life history do not represent liberation or empowerment. In many ways, Monica and her life history represent an individualistic paradigm, thus demonstrating the success that can result from acculturation, assimilation, and domestication into the dominant culture of the United States. In this way, Monica and her life history are the story of a Latina who has learned her own way into a second culture.
