It is with great sadness that we report of the death of one of the leading lights of adult education of the 20th and 21st century, Professor Chris Duke. Chris, amongst many other positions was a visiting professor at the University of Glasgow, and made extensive practical and conceptual contributions to CR&DALL in the past two decades.
ASPBAE and the adult education movement has lost another one of its own. On 22 June 2023, Dr. Chris Duke, former ASPBAE Secretary General (1972-1985) passed on.
Chris Duke was a towering figure in the adult education movement. A significant part of what ASPBAE has accomplished and reached today is built on Chris' vision and exemplary work. ASPBAE owes him a huge debt of gratitude.
A new Open Access book presents the results of the major Horizon 2020 project, ENLIVEN: Encouraging Lifelong Learning for an Inclusive & Vibrant Europe within which CR&DALL core member Professor Ellen Boeren was an investigator. Chapters in the book discuss main insights from the project, which was led by Professor John Holford, Robert Peers Chair of Adult Education at the University of Nottingham.
