An ecological perspective of power in transformational learning: A case study of ethical vegans

Critics have argued for a better understanding of power in transformational learning. This study explored the power of normative ideologies in the tra nsformational learning of ethical vegans. The findings indicate that Meziro w's transformation theory does not adequately account for power relations i n this case of transformational learning, power was central to the transfor mational learning of ethical vegans, relations of power operated across int errelated scales of organization and rime, normative ideologies regulated e mancipatory praxis over rime, and transformational learning should be viewe d from a more holistic perspective.
