Biography
Dr. Kucukaydin (pronouns: he, him, his) received his doctorate degree in adult education from Penn State University. His research interests are equality in education, technology, adult education, critical pedagogy, and “counter-learning under oppression,” which is a way of learning he explored in his dissertation. Counter-learning is an individual and social learning and unlearning process that works against indoctrination and it encompasses rational, emotional, lingual, moral, and behavioral manifestations. Counter-learning is a negation of submission to the given reality.
