This innovative Research Handbook rethinks current paradigms in adult education, providing a toolkit for responding to the challenges and opportunities for adult education and lifelong learning amidst a changing world. Contributing authors analyse key aspects of the field through the lenses of democracy, sustainability, and social justice.

Adopting a non-traditional discourse approach, international practitioners and scholars collaboratively analyse relevant issues within the field, such as adult education for indigenous people, pedagogy, inclusion and the history of lifelong learning. They critically examine the global status quo of adult learning, reflecting on the purpose of education as well as the tensions that can arise in different contexts. Chapters present original research paired with empirical accounts of teaching initiatives from the Global North and South. Incorporating a range of theoretical and empirical perspectives, the Research Handbook engages with the diversity of adult learning and education, both formal and informal.

The Research Handbook on Adult Learning and Education is a thought-provoking read for students and scholars of education, university management, education policy, curriculum and pedagogy. Its practical and inspiring insights also make it a crucial resource for adult learning practitioners and policymakers.
