“Wilma Fraser takes on some of the central issues in adult education and lifelong learning in our time. In an exciting combination of narrative, auto-ethngography, and cultural critique of current events, including the Trump-Brexit era landscape and its impacts on adult education and lifelong learning, she invites with example an embrace of wisdom. Through the use of paradox, metaphor, and poetry, along with a keen eye opening analysis, she pulls us open for an examination of teaching and a way of living an ongoing life journey that offers the glimpse of Sophia -- and learning from her Wisdom. This is a must-read for all who want to engage with the Big Questions not only of adult education, but of living and learning in a new era.” (Elizabeth J. Tisdell, Professor of Lifelong Learning and Adult Education, Penn State University, USA)
“This is a beautifully written scholarly text. The author’s extensive experience in adult teaching and learning – and her passion for these processes - not only shine through her writing but give it a reader-friendly clarity. The book is an exemplar of how to pursue a line of inquiry by bringing an autoethnographic frame to an eclectic and well-researched range of material. Wilma Fraser has worked with and served Sophia well!” (Cheryl Hunt, Honorary University Fellow, University of Exeter, UK, and Chief Editor of Journal for the Study of Spirituality)

Book Description Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book concerns the pursuit of wisdom in education, and the argument that wisdom - personified here as Sophia - is tragically marginalised or absent in current Western epistemological discourses. It includes a review of key historical and classical framings which have lost much potency and relevance as certain cultural narratives hold sway; these include the reductionist, technicist and highly instrumentalist discourses which shape the articulation and delivery of much education policy and practice, whilst reflecting similar troubling framings from broader neoliberal perspectives. Fraser argues that wisdom's marginalisation has had, and continues to have, profoundly deleterious consequences for our educative practices. Through a compelling combination of narrative and autoethnographic techniques, while also drawing on philosophical and cultural traditions, the book pushes at the boundaries of emerging knowledge, including how knowledge is generated. It will be of interest to those who facilitate the learning of adults in a variety of settings as well as to students and supervisors seeking exemplars and 'justification' for working in non-traditional ways. 248 pp. Englisch.
