I recently wrote a chapter for the "New Update on Adult Learning Theory" (ed. 
Sharan Merriam, pub. Jossey-Bass) on critical and postmodern perspectives on 
adult learning.  By including B. in this very broad overview I felt that I 
was using my power as author of the chapter to actually shift the direction 
of adult learning theory work for the next 5 or so years.  I was supposed to 
survey what is being done in the field (including adult literacy) but B. 
hardly is being done.  I hope I gave him good treatment in the 1 page out of 
9 I gave him (space was very limited), because this book will be used in a 
lot of intro classes.
