This important book breaks new ground in addressing issues of
gendered learning in different contexts across the (adult) life
span at the start of the 21st century. Adult learning sits within a
shifting landscape of educational policy, profoundly influenced by
the skills agenda, by complex funding policies, new qualifications
and the widening/narrowing participation debate. The book is unique
in highlighting the centrality of gendered choices to these
developments which shape participation in and experiences of
lifelong learning.
"Gendered Choices" critically examines the continued expansion
of a skills-based approach in areas of lifelong learning, including
career decisions, professional identities and informal networks. It
explores key intersections of adult learning from a gender
perspective: notably participation, workplace learning and informal
pathways.
Drawing on research from a range of contexts, "Gendered Choices
"demonstrates that for women the public/private spaces of work and
home are often conflated, although the gendering of 'choice' has
largely been ignored by policy makers.
The themes of the book bring together some of these critical
issues, explored through the multiple and fractured identities
which constitute gendered lives. The book addresses these in an
international context, with contributions from Canada, Spain and
Iran that provide a wider international perspective on shared
issues."
