At its core, adult education can best be understood as the development and application of knowledge that seeks to bring about positive change for individuals, communities, and society at large.
Adult education can promote critical ideas and conscious-raising actions; react to local or global social concerns or crises; extend opportunities for personal choice and growth; engage people in learning from nature and learning how to work and live together; or focus on vocationalism and training. Indeed, adult education can advance a combination of these objectives.
This book is the latest in a series sponsored by the Canadian Association for the Study of Adult Education (CASAE). The series is a testament to the remarkable contributions that are being made by Canadian adult educators to a wide-ranging body of scholarship and practice that continues to be rigorous, ethical, and purposeful. This book furthers that legacy and, in particular, highlights and advances the critical traditions within it.
