The Socioculturally Constructed Multivoiced Self as a Framework for Christian Education of Second-Generation Korean American Young Adults
Kang, S. Steve
Religious Education, v97 n1 p81-96 Win 2002
This article proposes a new framework for theory and practice of Christian education for second-generation Korean American young adults using the literature of sociocultural constructionism and the multivoiced self. This framework can provide holistic nurture and future trajectories in which to encourage a reflexive, praxis-generating faith. The author calls for a fostering of authentic community in which young adults can engage in self construction and self integration through their narrative. (Contains 5 footnotes.)
