Abstract

The questions underlying this chapter are: How does the advent of the HIV and AIDS pandemic compel us to refine our feminist popular education practices? How does the impact of this disease on poor people and women specifically warrant exploration of different approaches? How do we work with community activists, educators, and caregivers in HIV- and AIDS-saturated environments? In fact, how do we work with people in times of severe stress exacerbated by ill health, war, economic, environmental, and other crises? What new insights have emerged that might enrich popular education, adult and lifelong learning practices more generally?
