Lifelong learning is a key feature of the educational landscape
today. This important book breaks new ground in examining issues of
gender in relation to lifelong learning. Drawing on policy analysis
and research in the UK, European and global arenas, "Gender and"
"Lifelong Learning "demonstrates the ways in which patterns of
access to, participation in, and outcomes of lifelong learning
reflect gender divisions and power relations.
The scope of the book is wide-ranging. Divided into three sections,
the discussion encompasses school, adult, community, further and
higher education. The issues covered include gendered subject
'choices', reasons for non-participation and pedagogies of lifelong
learning. There are also fascinating chapters that explore the
widening of participation, the experiences of disabled students,
and the visibility/invisibility of black women in higher education.
Utilizing many different theoretical and methodological approaches,
the book offers a range of critical feminist engagements to make
visible, understand and critique gender inequalities in lifelong
learning.
A key theme throughout the book is a critique of neoliberalism and
of the dominance of economic rationales in shaping the concept of
lifelong learning. Yet the book offers not only criticism of
current policies and practices, but also alternative visions,
different possibilities and new ways of conceptualizing and doing
lifelong learning that might better reflect social justice
concerns. It also includes many ideas and suggestions that can be
practically drawn upon, and the concluding chapter ends with a
summary of key implications for both policy-makers and
practitioners.
