This insightful book is ideal for students, researchers and policy makers wanting a sound overview of the critical issues of gender in lifelong learning. Asking pertinent questions relating to discourses on policy, the authors offer the reader a rare view of lifelong learning from a gender-focused perspective, filling a gap in the literature and moving current debate on into new areas. Questions addressed include:
- To what extent can the policy discourses and institutional contexts of lifelong learning be seen as masculinised and/or feminised?
- What are the gender implications of lifelong learning policy?
- In what ways are learners’ identities constructed through lifelong learning?
- Does lifelong learning provide opportunities to challenge or transgress gender binaries?
- What are the implications for practice? <
'With this book, the criticism is complete and perfect, the arguments very well built and attractive and the situations and examples are so real.' - Studies in the Education of Adults
