Learning with Adults: A Reader

An extremely useful collection of articles on adult education. This book expands and elevates our understanding of this underestimated modality of education and its role in social change by bringing together multiple aspects – from culture, gender, identity, and policy to instruments and sites for knowledge transmission and production. Learning with Adults: A Reader constitutes the most valuable practical and theoretical reflection on adult education I have seen in a long time.
