Title: Adult education and the postmodern challenge
First published: 1997
Description: "Drawing on the new intellectual frameworks of postmodernism, critical pedagogy and feminism, and their impact upon educational theory, practice and research, the book focuses on the changing contexts of adult education. By building on the notion of going 'beyond the limits' of certain current adult education orthodoxies, the authors try to provide alternatives for practice. The final three chapters deal with research, focusing on a critical macro-analysis of mainstream paradigms, a review of alternative approaches, and a micro-analysis of the role of the socially-located self in the research process."--Back cover.
