Abstract

This collection of 21 essays reviews the context of developments in adult education in the last 15 years. "Adult Education for Change in the Nineties and Beyond" (Marjorie Mayo) is a critical review of the context for these changes and of the theoretical debates that attempt to analyze and explain them. "Challenging the Postmodern Condition" (Paula Allman, John Wallis) offers a specific challenge to postmodernism in relation to adult learning. "Are We Not More Than Half the Nation?" (Julia Swindells) argues that focus on the relationship between independent working men's movements and adult education has tended either to exclude or distort recognition of the importance of women's education. "Cultural Struggle or Identity Politics" (Tom Steele) argues that the seed of a cultural struggle in Britain after World War II found fertile ground among adult educators. "Radical Adult Education" (Hilda Kean) explores the tradition of working-class reading to examine the way in which socialists and feminists saw education as a mechanism for the development of the self. "Piecing together the Fragments" (Martin Yarnit) focuses on the education of adults as a vital part of the whole national apparatus of education and training. "Competence, Curriculum, and Democracy" (David Alexander, Ian Martin) reflects the authors' experience of the current process of professionalism within the field of adult and community education in Scotland. "Really Useful Knowledge" (Katherine Hughes) describes the history of the Ruskin Learning Project. "All Equal Now?" (Rebecca O'Rourke) reflects on some concerns about the changing context for radical adult education. "Feminism and Women's Education" (Jane Thompson) looks at the contribution of feminism to recognition of "really useful knowledge.""Making Experience Count" (Wilma Fraser) focuses on programs that emphasize reflection on experience. "The Dying of the Light?" (John McIlroy) offers a radical look at trade union education. "Learning in Working Life" (Keith Forrester) outlines difficulties in provision of educational programs by trade unions. "Popular Education and the State" (Keith Jackson) explores the contribution adult education might make "in the community.""Beyond Subversion" (Mae Shaw, Jim Crowther) argues that broad dissatisfaction with the current orthodoxy provides an opportunity for a radical agenda to be reasserted. "Training the Community" (John Grayson) focuses on the field of tenant training. "Seizing the Quality Initiative" (Cilla Ross) identifies ways in which radical adult education practice can be redefined and remade. "Amman Valley Enterprise" (Sonia Reynolds) describes adult education and community revival in the Welsh valleys. "Formal Systems" (Chris Duke) focuses on those who adhere to a radical vision while working within the formal organization. "Adult Learning in the Context of Global, Neo-Liberal Economic Policies" (John Payne) looks at experiences in the London Borough of Wandsworth and in Nicaragua. "Popular Education in Northern Ireland" (Tom Lovett) describes the Ulster People's College. (Each article contains references.) (YLB)

Abstract

This document contains 11 papers about the potential for progressive educational practice in the United Kingdom and elsewhere. "Editorial" (Mae Shaw, Jane Thompson, Liam Bane) discusses the tradition of common purpose in education and the need to tackle social exclusion, educate for active citizenship, and promote lifelong learning and adult and community education. "Returning to the Northern City" (Jane Thompson) discusses current social, economic, and political conditions in the working class neighborhood where she grew up in Northern England. "Contesting Citizenship" (Ian Martin) explores competing traditions of citizenship, learning democracy, linking the local and the global, and stretching the policy discourse. "Making Connections" (Ursula Coleman) considers the nature and purpose of adult education in the Irish context during the first decade of the 21st century. "Learning for Active Citizenship" (Jane Pillinger) explains how growing concerns about the demise of democratic participation in political and civil life has led to new adult education initiatives across Europe. "The Emancipation of Hope" (Paul Nolan) focuses on adult learning and peace building in Northern Ireland and considers the issues of learning and unlearning, community, workplace, and women's groups. "Scotland's Parliament, Civil Society, and Popular Education" (Eurig Scandrett) examines community educators' response to recent constitutional changes in Scotland, with special attention to land reform, gay rights, and the ambiguity of civil society. "The POWER Story" (Margaret Martin) reports on a partnership of two women's organizations and two educational institutions in Ireland. "Inclusive Rhetoric, Exclusive Reality" (Usha Brown) considers the impact of British government policies to reduce poverty. "Reclaiming a Progressive Tradition: A View from South Africa" (Jonathan Grossman) explores changes, continuities, and challenges facing the progressive tradition in South Africa. "Popular Education and the Landless People's Movement in Brazil" (Liam Kane) traces the development of Brazil's Landless People's Movement and discusses its lessons for the United Kingdom. The Scandrett paper contains a substantial bibliography. (MN)

19. Stretching the Academy: The Politics and Practice of Widening Participation in Higher Education.

Author

National Inst. of Adult Continuing Education, Leicester (England)., Thompson, Jane, Thompson, Jane, and National Inst. of Adult Continuing Education, Leicester (England).

Abstract

These 12 papers support the view that the current, general interest in widening participation in higher education in the United Kingdom may provide opportunities to radicalize policies and intervene strategically in institutional practices in ways that help to influence them. "Introduction" (Jane Thompson) precedes "Joining, Invading, Reconstructing" (Janice Malcolm), which uses the author's personal experience to clarify her concerns about the contemporary practice of widening participation. "Beyond Rhetoric" (Mary Stuart) highlights one methodology for participation in higher education that grew out of approaches used in third world development and philosophically linked to the ideal of a popular education. "Peripherality, Solidarity, and Mutual Learning in the Global/Local Development Business" (Anne Ryan) claims educational interventions that celebrate rather than problematize the experiences of those at the periphery are characterized by solidarity and mutual learning. "Common Goods" (Tom Steele) proposes adult education has a vital role to play in new educational synthesis, if a genuinely participatory mass democracy and an active toleration of cultural and sexual difference is to be achieved. "Concepts of Self-Directed Learning in Higher Education" (Richard Taylor) insists the role of the radical educator is to encourage and support the democratic and progressive articulation of self-directed learning. "Social Capital" (Loraine Blaxter, Christina Hughes) considers this concept within a frame that extends critical thinking about issues of social inclusion. "Women's Community Education in Ireland" (Anne B. Ryan, Brid Connolly) discusses how this thriving system has been considerably shaped by feminist ideas and practice, its connection to grass-roots organizations and the academy, and contribution of theories dealing with complexity, contradiction, and ambiguity. "Friendship, Flourishing, and Solidarity in Community-Based Adult Education" (Keith Hammond) looks at the way Aristotle's practical philosophy informs a community-based adult education project in and around Glasgow. "Missionary and Other Positions" (Pat Whaley) describes a joint initiative between the University of Durham and the Cleveland Community Enterprise Network to develop an accredited undergraduate program in community development and enterprise. "Widening Participation Through Action Learning in the Community (ALIC)" (Marjorie Mayo, Anan Collymore), a dialogue between a project evaluator and a project worker, provides project worker's account of ALIC's specific aims and objectives and aims and achievements of ALIC participants. "Working with Contradictions in the Struggle for Access" (John Bamber et al.) suggests actions and strategies that can make a positive difference in institutional contradictions. "Turning the Discourse" (Jim Crowther et al.) explores how the tradition of social purpose can survive, even thrive, in institutions now expected to behave as if they had never had one. Papers contain references. (YLB)

20. Words in Edgeways: Radical Learning for Social Change.

Author

National Inst. of Adult Continuing Education, Leicester (England)., Thompson, Jane, Thompson, Jane, and National Inst. of Adult Continuing Education, Leicester (England).

Abstract

This book advocates for the role of education in helping to include those who have no voice in society. The collection of writings challenges many of the prevailing attitudes that underpin education policy (especially in England) and impeaches the reforms which run counter to "real" education. The 10 articles, written over a 20-year period, include the following: "Adult Education and the Disadvantaged"; "The Personal Implications of Women's Subordination"; "Women and Adult Education"; "The Cost and Value of Adult Education to Working Class Women"; "Adult Education and the Women's Movement"; "Doing It for Ourselves"; "Learning, Liberation, and Maturity: An Open Letter to Whoever's Left"; "Feminism and Women's Education"; "The Great Tradition: A Personal Reflection"; and "Really Useful Knowledge: Linking Theory and Practice."
