Re: [xmca] Identifying the Top Studies : adult learning

I agree with Peter re: Adult Learning being a very broad concept so it
might help to narrow it down - perhaps  give us a clue about what context
you are interested in, for example, professional learning, work and
learning, identity work, etc.

In addition to the books mentioned by Helena, here are some of my
favorites....

Finger, M., & Ausan, J.M (2001) Adult education at the crossroads: Learning
our way out
Sawchuk, P. (2003) Adult learning and technology in working class life
Horton, M., Kohl, & Kolh (1998) The long haul: An autobiography (of Myles
Horton)
Horton, M. & Freire (1990) We make the road by walking: Conversations on
education and social change
Illich, I (1983) De-schooling society (not within the last 20 years, but I
think Illich's wisdom should be reconsidered in light of the explosion of
 ICT since he wrote this)
Billett, Fenwick, & Somerville (2006) Work, subjectivity, and learning:
Understanding learning through working life

ps Newman's  Maeler’s Regard is excellent!

also you may want to check out this website: http://www.infed.org/

I'd love if you would compile a bibliography and share with the list....

good luck
