Tam, Maureen – International Journal of Lifelong Education, 2016
Governments' anxieties about ageing populations are mostly concerned with the costs of welfare, care and health provision which all have to be paid for by an ever dwindling working population. However, research in later life learning indicates the significant role that lifelong learning can play in promoting mental well-being and resilience, and…

Flynn, Susan; Collins, Joseph; Malone, Lindsay – International Journal of Lifelong Education, 2022
A wide range of literature has already emerged which assesses the sudden closure of Higher Education Institutions during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, when many academic institutions turned to ERT (emergency remote teaching) in order to maintain teaching and learning.

Walters, Shirley – International Journal of Lifelong Education, 2022
Activism and engagement with real-world climate crises, within particular contexts, are prerequisites for learning about climate justice. I draw on my experience as an imbedded activist researcher living and learning through two recent 'crises' in Cape Town, to deepen my understandings of 'climate justice'. I followed a case study approach to…

Macleod, Gale; Tett, Lyn – International Journal of Lifelong Education, 2019
This article provides evidence of the ways in which Family Learning (FL) has offered opportunities for the negotiation of a culturally responsive pedagogy that positions parents as experts.

Strawn, Clare; Monama, Geraldine – International Journal of Lifelong Education, 2012
Adult literacy is a crucial element of community and economic development in South Africa and many developing countries striving to meet Millennium Development Goals.

De Greef, Maurice; Verte, Dominique; Segers, Mien – International Journal of Lifelong Education, 2012
Our current knowledge society does not only have an impact on labour market demands, but its citizens also have to cope with increasing social demands.

Learning Is an Ontological Process: Jarvis and Theories of Christian Religious Education in Dialogue
Le Cornu, Alison – International Journal of Lifelong Education, 2017
Both Jarvis and theories of Christian Religious Education (CRE) emphasise that learning develops the whole person, yet they differ in their understandings of how and why this is the case.

Youde, Andrew – International Journal of Lifelong Education, 2018
The article proposes a new way of analysing and understanding blended learning and contributes to current debates about adult learner motivations for study.

Geerts, Nelly; Schirmer, Werner; Vercruyssen, Anina; Glorieux, Ignace – International Journal of Lifelong Education, 2023
Existing research on digital inclusion has shown that older adults (65+) are, in general, less digitally skilled than other age groups.

This article is concerned with how learning in later life has been constructed and practised by the two most numerous ethnic groups in Aotearoa/New Zealand, "Pakeha" (Europeans) and "Maori" (Indigenous people). It is argued that learning is heavily influenced by historic features of interaction between these two groups; Pakeha…

Marsden, Scott – International Journal of Lifelong Education, 2018
My insurgent curatorial strategy incorporates theory around dialogue and is used to develop a participatory and collaborative process that gives voice to those who are marginalised and/or disfranchised and are suppressed by dominant social narratives. My strategy demonstrates how art galleries and museums can function as sites for community…
