• The education of teachers of English as a lingua franca: a transformative perspective (2007, background): “Since perspective transformation refers to deeply rooted assumptions and beliefs, it is necessary to adopt training techniques that are relevant to each individual teaching culture (see Nisbett 2003, in Mezirow 2004).”
• The Transformative Educator as Learning Companion (2008, background): “Some argue that a certain level of cognitive development and hence education is a prerequisite for transformative learning (Merriam, 2004; Mezirow, 2004), and this assumption may serve to discourage researchers from examining the experiences of literacy learners.”
