The abstracts reflect the values that inform the curriculum, the research, and the practice of the Center: the theory and practice of liberation, consciousness-raising, literacy and popular education, empowerment, social change, the feminist perspective, an emphasis on qualitative, participatory and action research methodologies, and a developing interest in education in emergency situations or fragile states. The emphasis on the human component of development reflects the ongoing commitment of CIE to study and implement educational processes which increase the learners' control over their lives. The abstracts are presented in chronological order based on dates of graduation and are numbered sequentially. Abstracts are indexed by the author's name in the Author Index, and by geographic location and also by topic in the Subject Index. To locate a particular abstract, find the author or topic in the index and then use the sequence number to find the abstract in the text. The full text of the dissertations is available from ProQuest and other web services as well as in the W. E. B. DuBois library at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Several the dissertations have been published by CIE and are available from our publications department. The names of authors of dissertations published by CIE are marked with an asterisk in the Author Index. This edition of the CIE Abstracts may also be purchased from CIE Publications. Thanks to Laureen Pierre who spent many hours adding the new abstracts, revising the indices, and cleaning up the format for this edition. We are also indebted to Darren Hertz for the new cover design. adult literacy 248 African studies 7,8 African studies in Russia 116 African women 185 agriculture 50,83,90,125,240 alternative development 171 appropriate technology 4 7 ,211 assessment instrument 170 attitudes 3,
