Abstract
Following other contributions in the Adult Learning, Literacy and Social Change series, this book provides a critical viewpoint on the complex link between adult learning and social transformation. It explores the everyday actualities of adult learning through historical and empirical perspectives from across the UK, with studies conducted mainly in Scotland and England. The kernel of the arguments woven across the chapters is that government-led adult education is problematic and has struggled to deliver the much- needed change for active and inclusive construction of citizenship, which involves recognising marginalised people’s capacity to generate valuable knowledge and contribute to their society (55)
