Learning should not be hindered by ones' age, gender or capacity of literacy. But very often people's right to learn is limited exactly due to these reasons. This paper shows how a group of older people, organized by a community leader to form a learning group, used multiple approaches in order to overcome the obstacles that block people, especially women, from learning. The learning group lasted for more than four years, and they were invited to attend the commencement of a nearby university.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
