Using theory drawn from Education, Cultural Studies and Human
Geography, this work explores the related issues of belonging,
learning and community. This book draws on a range of research
studies conducted with adult learners both nationally and
internationally in formal and informal contexts (including
universities, voluntary sector and community based projects, work
and leisure). It uses interdisciplinary theory drawn from
Education, Cultural Studies and Human Geography to explore the
related issues of belonging, learning and community. It critiques
dominant ideas and practices of learning community in Higher
Education and Lifelong Learning as simplistic and regulatory and
argues that learners gain most benefit from creating their own
symbolic communities and networks, which help to produce 'imagined'
social capital. It demonstrates how such imagined social capital
works, using a rich variety of empirical data. It then considers
how these new critical perspectives can help us to rethink
education as a cultural practice. "Continuum Studies in Educational
Research (CSER)" is a major new series in the field of educational
research. Written by experts and scholars for experts and scholars,
this ground-breaking series focuses on research in the areas of
comparative education, history, lifelong learning, philosophy,
policy, post-compulsory education, psychology and sociology. Based
on cutting edge research and written with lucidity and passion, the
"CSER" series showcases only those books that really matter in
education - studies that are major, that will be remembered for
having made a difference.
