Words in Edgeways: Radical Learning for Social Change - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Jane Thompson's books and essays have inspired and validated the work of radical practitioners in adult and community education not only in Britain, but also overseas - particularly in Canada and the United States, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. This is a collection of extracts, essays and conference presentations - written over a twenty-year period, on working class and women's education. This volume covers the application of Marxist, sociological and feminist analysis to adult education; connections between the women's movement and adult education, and a collection of writings by women learners whose lives were restricted by poverty and family violence. This book will be useful to students on adult and continuing education courses at university level. It will also be of relevance to staff development activity, conferences and workshops in which matters of curriculum, political education, participatory learning, citizenship and social change are being discussed. Practitioners in adult learning and community education who are concerned about disadvantage and issues of inclusion and exclusion will also find this book valuable.
