YES!!!! institutions , by their historical structure, can NOT endorse
learning III
because this invariably calls the institution itself into question -
again, i think an actual context would help me - a specific activity -
like introducing new agriculture technologies into rural communities, and
what kinds of structures are
involved - beliefs, values, histories, traditions, ideologies, politics -
these are, to me,
particular to the context, and so potentially more expansive in terms of
OUR learning here.
