"A Real WEA Tutor": G. D. H. Cole, Socialist Democracy, and the Politics of Persona.

Summary: G. D. H. Cole was a famous thinker who believed in giving power to everyday workers. This paper shows how much he valued teaching adults. He thought a good teacher (called a "WEA tutor") was the secret to building a fair, socialist society. By teaching workers to think for themselves, these tutors helped mix personal freedom with teamwork. Even though some critics thought his ideas were too hopeful in the 1930s, later thinkers used them to find inspiration during the Cold War.
