Strain, Michael
Educational Management & Administration, v28 n3 p281-98 Jul 2000
Examines limitations inherent in the learning society debate, highlighting public schooling's role; individualization and fears of uselessness in a modernized, informationalized world; and effects of globalization on learning. A climate of risk and consumerism requires reflexive construction of a "self" on a lifelong learning journey. (Contains 50 references.) (MLH)
