Shauna Butterwick

Associate Professor
Department of Educational Studies (EDST)

Dr. Butterwick is an adult education scholar who uses feminist approaches to her study of adult learning, particularly women’s learning. She has studied welfare programs, workplace learning, and learning in social activism. Much of her research is conducted in partnership with community organizations where she seeks to build reciprocal relations between university and community. She has also written about the power and value of arts-based pedagogy for adult learning.
