In this hybrid seminar, Dr Qiong He, Hong Kong University and Dr Colin Mack, University of Glasgow will present findings from their recent research.
We are pleased to provide details of the conference, Education for All: Challenging Orthodoxies and Fostering Inclusion, which is to be held at Somerville College Oxford on 4 April 2024. This one day event is being organised in collaboration with the Council for Education in the Commonwealth in honour of the late Professor Lalage Bown.
A new book "Adult Education and Social Justice: International Perspectives" was published just before Xmas 2023 in honour of the adult educator par excellence, Professor Lalage Bown, who died just over two years ago. Edited by Maria Slowey, Heribert Hinzen, Michael Omolewa and myself, it contains contributions from many esteemed adult educators, many from the core CR&DALL team and others beyond, particularly those with connections to Africa.
We are happy to announce the opening of the call for papers for a panel “Adult learning and education for a socially just society: appraising policy and practice” hosted within the 3rd Scuola Democratica Conference to be held in Cagliari (Sardinia, Italy) in June 3-4-5-6, 2024. The purpose of this panel is to encourage debate and progress on researching how adult education policy and learning practices at local, national and international levels contribute to, or hamper, the development of a more socially just society.
Abertay University is delighted to announce a partnership with SCAPP (Scotland’s Community of Access and Participation Practitioners). SCAPP provides a practitioners’ network to support the development and professionalisation of a strong widening access and participation community in Scotland and by doing this embed, enhance and support effective practice. SCAPP encourages and coordinates the sharing of best practice and policy developments that impacts students from underrepresented backgrounds in tertiary education.
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 book, Access, Lifelong Learning and Education for All, has just been published in the Palgrave Studies in Adult Education and Lifelong Learning (PSAELL) book series, and is edited by Gareth Parry, Peter Scott and CR&DALL Director, Mike Osborne.
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.
