Vad är folkbildning i vår tid? Folkhögskolor i förskingringen, tidskrävande studiecirklar och svenska för invandrare och en dröm om jämlikhet och en integration som gått förlorad? Eller något historiskt som egentligen inte har på 2000-talet att göra? Uppsatserna i Folkbildning i vår tid diskuterar vad folk och bildning är i dag. Och hur folkbildningen ska kopplas till demokrati och våra gemensamma angelägenheter. Det är skälet till att underrubriken lyder en antologi om makt och demokrati. Boken presenterar inte ett enhetligt svar men bärs fram av en stark övertygelse om att folkbildningen har en framtid. Frågan är hur folkbildningen och folkrörelserna ska kunna samverka med nya sociala rörelser, som kvinnorörelsen, miljörörelsen och den globala rättviserörelsen.

This book is an outcome of the international networking of the research group VETYL (Vocational Education & Training/Yrkeskunande och Lärande), at the Department of Education, Stockholm University, Sweden. In May 2012 the group organised the first Stockholm International Conference in VET, an academic event that has ever since been organised yearly following the modality of invited papers. The book contains selected papers presented in the sessions of the conference held 8 and 9, May 2017. The contributions deal with a wide range of areas of research within the Vocational and Training field in different national contexts as well as cross-nationally. The book illustrates well the diversity of research in the field in a way that is not frequently available in the literature today. The content is of interest for a diversity of readers including under–graduate students, in particular students in initial and in-service teacher training programs for VET, post-graduate students, researchers and policy makers.
