Praise for Patricia Cranton

"Perceptive, provocative, and lucid, Patricia Cranton's clear and careful analysis and her down-to-earth examples of transformative learning concepts move my work significantly closer to the practitioner. Highly recommended!"
—Jack Mezirow, professor emeritus of adult education, Teachers College, Columbia University
