Description
THE JOSSEY-BASS READER ON Contemporary Issues in Adult Education
With contributions from leading experts in the field, The Jossey-Bass Reader on Contemporary Issues in Adult Education collects in one volume the best previously published literature on the issues and trends affecting adult education today. The volume includes influential pieces from foundational authors in the profession such as Eduard C. Lindeman, Alain Locke, and Paulo Freire, as well as current work from authors around the world, including Laura L. Bierema, John M. Dirkx, Cecilia Amaluisa Fiallos, Peter Jarvis, Michael Newman, and Shirley Walters.
In five sections, the book's thirty chapters delve into a wide range of compelling topics including:
social justice, democracy, and activism
diversity and marginalization
human resource development
lifelong learning
ethical issues
the meaning and role of emotions
globalization and non-Western perspectives
the role of mass media, popular culture, and "social learning"
technology
health, welfare, and environment
Each piece is framed within its larger context by the editors, and each section is accompanied by helpful reflection and discussion questions.
