SYRACUSE, N.Y., June 1, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- ProLiteracy, the largest adult literacy and basic education membership organization in the United States, announces the release of Volume 4, Issue 2, of its research journal Adult Literacy Education: The International Journal of Literacy, Language, and Numeracy.
This issue's first research article, "Mediating Work and Culture through Dewey's Integrative Vision of Vocational Education," written by George Demetrion of Capital Community College and the 1199 New England Training and Upgrading Fund, discusses using the philosophy of John Dewey to empower adult vocational education through a cultural vision.

ProLiteracy proudly produces this journal in partnership with Rutgers University. The journal editors—Alisa Belzer, Amy Rose, and Heather Brown—are respected researchers. "The research journal has proven to be an invaluable resource in the field. As such, with our dedicated partners, we are committed to continue providing timely evidence-based strategies that adult education programs can put into practice," says ProLiteracy President and CEO Mark Vineis.
