Adult Education and the Formation of Citizens turns attention
towards normative claims about who adults should become through
education, and what capacities and skills adults need to develop to
become included in society as 'full' citizens. Through these
debates, adults are construed as not yet citizens, despite already
being citizens in a formal sense; this book problematises such
regimes of truth and their related notions of the possibilities and
impossibilities of adult education and citizenship. Drawing on
empirical examples from the two main adult education institutions
in Sweden, folk high schools and municipal adult education, it
argues that, through current regimes of truth, these institutions
become spaces for the re-shaping of the "abnormal" citizen. The
book suggests that only certain futures of citizenship and its
educational provision are made possible, while other futures are
ignored or even made impossible to imagine. Offering a unique focus
on critically problematising the role of adult education in
relation to the fostering and shaping of citizens, the book
addresses the important contemporary challenges of the role of
adult education in a time of migration. Adult Education and the
Formation of Citizens will be of great interest to academics,
researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of adult
education, lifelong learning and education.

This interdisciplinary volume presents a comprehensive framework to
understand political awareness. Political awareness has become an
important part of research on political attitudes and political
behavior since the publication of John Zaller's work on political
opinion. The authors elaborate on his theory and present a new
conceptualization, which stipulates that political awareness is the
attentiveness, knowledge, and understanding of politics. Hence, the
book discusses different aspects, such as the concept of political
awareness, its formation, significance, measurement, and
exploration. The result is a new framework that addresses
conceptual, theoretical, and methodological questions, such as:
What does the concept mean? How to study political awareness? How
is it connected to other orientations? How do children and youth
develop political awareness? Addressing researchers and graduate
students, as well as scholars in political science, sociology, and
education, this book is a must-read for everybody interested in a
better understanding of political awareness.
