Reconceptualising Lifelong Learning

'This is an excellent book which explores the concepts and definitions of lifelong learning and how that translates into practice for those who engage with it. The authors present their ideas and concepts in an extremely innovative, thought provoking and refreshing approach which engages the reader in relating to the individuals and concepts identified within the text. I would strongly recommend the book to anyone wanting to learn more about how policies and procedures concerning lifelong learning affect learners, tutors and managers.' - Escalate ' I happily recommend this book to anyone interested in the policy and practice of lifelong learning. It is a lively, stimulating treatise on the state we are in' - Widening Participation and Lifelong Learning, Volume 9 Number 3 "In encouraging (and modeling) reflexivity, resistance, subversion and possibilities for change, Burke and Jackson have re-made and re-claimed lifelong learning.... I would encourage anyone interested in lifelong learning to read this book." - Leona English
