 Robin Redmon Wright is Assistant Professor of Adult Learning and Teaching at The University of Texas at San Antonio and Co-Director of the graduate program in Adult Learning and Teaching. Her research interests reflect a critical perspective on adult identity development, feminist identity development, popular culture and adult learning and development, and adult learning, educational access and social class. She sees pedagogy as a critical tool for social activism that can be integrated into adult lives to produce lifelong learners actively involved in improving the lives of human beings in their individual communities and across the globe. Recent publications include: “The Avengers, public pedagogy, and the development of British women’s consciousness” (2008), in E. J. Tisdell & P. M. Thompson (Eds.), New directions in adult and continuing education: Popular culture and entertainment media; Cult TV, hip hop, shape-shifters, and vampire slayers: A review of the literature at the intersection of adult education and popular culture, (with Jennifer Sandlin) Adult Education Quarterly (in press): and Research as quest: An autoethnographic exploration of embodied class, intellectual obsession, and the academy (2008), Journal of Curriculum and Pedagogy.
