ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the middle of the Jewish holiday Passover. It focuses on listening to accounts of the Democratic leadership race as it unfolds in the United States. The chapter draws on the writing of feminist and other critical adult education scholars and outlines a notion of learning that can be based in emotion, sensuality, and spirituality. On a general level, conceptualization of holistic adult learning asserts that there are multiple dimensions of learning. Formal education emphasizes the intellectual dimension of learning, but emotional, spiritual, sensual, and experiential ways of knowing do not disappear when learners and teachers move from everyday experience into the classroom. Despite Kincheloes cautions about using bricolage, this inquiry illustrates how case study bricolage and strategies of crystallization can contribute to the study of complex phenomena such as globalization and learning. The theory behind interrelated methodological direction seems especially important to a phenomenon such as globalization in a period such as postmodernism, identities, and traditions.
