Arising from work by the Gender and Lifelong Learning Group of the Gender and Education Association, this book presents reconceptualisations of lifelong learning. It argues that the current field of lifelong learning is based on certain hidden values and assumptions and examines the mechanisms by which exclusionary discourses and practices are reproduced and maintained.The book opens up ways of conceptualising learning that takes into account multiple and shifting formations of learners from different social contexts. The authors broaden what counts as learning and who counts as a learner, offering different understandings of lifelong learning that are able to include currently marginalised values and principles.Organised in four sections the book looks at: reclaiming – it draws on feminist and post-structural conceptual frameworks to create a critical analysis of the current ‘field’ of lifelong learning retelling – it tells the tales of different multi-positions in lifelong learning revisioning – it moves from narrative to analysis and the authors present their revisioning of learning which provide the tools to reconceptualise the field of lifelong learning reconstructing – it furthers the discussion to outline new approaches to and practices in lifelong learning.
