L. Lee Knefelkamp is a professor of psychology and education at Teachers College, Columbia University, and a senior scholar at AAC&U. Her career has included research and teaching about intellectual, ethical, identity, and intercultural development; curriculum transformation; issues of race, ethnicity, and gender; campus climate assessment; and the psychology of organizational change. Knefelkamp is currently codirector of the Eisenhower Leader Development Program, a master’s program for Army officers conducted jointly by Teachers College and the United States Military Academy at West Point, and she also helped develop Teachers College’s new Executive Master’s Degree Program in Change Leadership, a program for midcareer adult learners.
Here, Knefelkamp talks about how working with adult students can inform our interactions with students of all ages, what tradeoffs come with new educational technology, and why K. Patricia Cross’s research on adult learners from the 1980s is still extraordinarily relevant today. MORE
