About this book series
Competing visions and paradigms for lifelong learning co-exist at national as well as international levels. The fact that one ‘official’ discourse may be dominant at any one time does not mean that other ways of thinking about learning throughout the life course have disappeared. They are alive and well in a range of critical traditions and perspectives that retain their power to engage and persuade.
Lifelong learning is presented in this Series in all its versatility. Accordingly, lifelong learning is referred to as an idea, a concept, an approach, a method, a programme, a strategy, even a philosophy or worldview. Similarly, the approaches to lifelong learning presented in the Series are sometimes philosophical, sociological, economic, psychological or educational, and frequently multi-disciplinary. Common foci are the practices of individual, organisational and collective learning as well as the development of people, communities and societies.
The Series promotes critical, evidence-informed exploration of problems, themes and issues in the evolving field of lifelong learning. Each volume is firmly based on high quality scholarship and a keen awareness of both emergent and enduring issues in practice and policy. Our mission is to engage scholars, practitioners, policy makers and professionals with new insights from international research and practice, and to provoke fresh thinking and innovation in lifelong learning. Contributions that highlight previously under-researched groups, countries and territories are strongly encouraged.
The Lifelong Learning Series aims to bring together established authors building on a strong platform of previous work to develop their themes and positions, with new generation authors bringing novel ideas and perspectives. We welcome contributions from multi-disciplinary research collaborations that approach contemporary and emerging global and local challenges in creative ways.
Through advocacy of broad, diverse and inclusive approaches to learning throughout the life course, the series aspires to be a leading resource for researchers and practitioners who seek to rethink lifelong learning to meet the challenges and opportunities of the 21st Century.
The Lifelong Learning Book Series complements the Third International Handbook of Lifelong Learning https://link.springer.com/referencework/10.1007/978-3-031-19592-1 with an elaboration of specific topics, themes and case studies in greater depth than is possible in the Handbook.
