Global Networks, Local Actions
Spirituality, Community, and Race Consciousness in Adult Higher Education
Rethinking adult education policy in the 21st century Marcella Milana, University of Verona, Italy. Series: Routledge Research in Lifelong Learning and Adult Education This book examines public policy developments in adult education, exploring the policy framing of adult education practice in a range of socio-cultural contexts, and contributing to the development of policy research from global and comparative perspectives. Drawing from multidisciplinary fields including adult education, comparative and international education, and sociology, chapters analyse empirically grounded studies from the US, Italy, Argentina and Brazil. Each study helps to identify how political agents interact at international, regional, national and local scales, and what the implications are for publically-funded interventions in adult education.

Breaking the Cycle of Racialization Timothy Paul Westbrook Series: Routledge Research in Education Drawing on the lived experiences of Black students in adult degree completion programs at predominantly White, Christian institutions in the southern United States, this book presents a model for reimagining adult higher education. Factors for why students enrolled in degree programs, how they experienced their predominantly white institutions, and how they perceived their educational experiences to affect their lives are explored. Critical Race Theory and Christian theology are employed as frameworks for evaluating the students’ experiences and to make suggestions for establishing racial balance in majority white institutions.
