This Handbook provides a wide-ranging frame of reference for
researching adult and lifelong education and learning. With
contributions from scores of established and newer scholars from
six continents, the volume covers a diverse range of geopolitical
and social territories across the world. Drawing on the multiple
heritages that underpin research on education and learning in
adulthood, this Handbook addresses the inner tensions between adult
education, adult learning, lifelong education, and lifelong
learning, by using current research and theorizations from
disciplinary backgrounds, including philosophy, psychology, biology
and neuroscience, anthropology, sociology, history, political
science, and economics. It provides an explicit discussion of the
differences and tensions between adult and lifelong education and
learning, and locates these in different policy and historical
contexts, theories and practices. It explores a variety of
discipline-based theoretical perspectives, and highlights how these
have influenced, and been influenced by, research in the education
and learning of adults. The Handbook also explores the inevitable
frictions and dilemmas these present, and carefully examines the
role of the international dimension in researching education and
learning in formal, non-formal and informal contexts, beyond
traditional schooling. This state-of-the-art, comprehensive
Handbook is the first of its kind to explore adult education,
lifelong education and lifelong learning fully as distinct
activities on an international scale. It will be an indispensable
reference resource for students of education at undergraduate and
postgraduate levels, and for academic researchers, professionals
and policy-makers concerned with adult and community education,
further and vocational education, or work-based training and human
resource development.
