Abstract
Extension has dabbled in public policy education for many years. Yet, as Reeder says in this article, "Extension's confused about: (1) its public and (2) whether its policy message will be as narrow as community problems or as broad as world problems." He also raises questions about extension's one-way communication approach to public affairs education with little oppurtunity for feedback for people. Why are we always just concerned with the power structure in our public affairs education? Why don't we listen to the non-leaders, the powerless structure, Reeder asks?
