This special edition issue of AJAL is comprised of articles with a focus on capturing and illuminating the experiences provided in and through work and how they contribute to adult learning and development more generally, as well as those associated with occupational capacities and subjectivities and workplace competence. In this way, the special issue is not about workplace learning per se, but rather the kinds of experiences and legacies arising from adults’ participation in work practice and the activities and interactions that comprise working life.
