Reviews

“This powerful book offers important contributions to critical pedagogy and issues of diversity in Further Education and Training in Ireland. It analyses the impact of the ‘great realignment’, increasing and ongoing attempts to neo-liberalize, homogenize and tame adult, community, vocational and further education by policymakers, offering a dialogic and participatory counter-vision.” —Dr. Sharon Clancy – FHEA, Assistant Professor – Educational Leadership and Management, University of Nottingham, UK. “In this vital and thought-provoking book, the consciousness-raising purposes of further and adult education are celebrated and affirmed. At times lyrical and offering powerful insights throughout, the contributors maintain a fine balance between contextual groundedness and putting theory to work. This makes for a valuable contribution to a body of international literature devoted to a largely neglected but crucial sector of education.” —Professor Rob Smith, Birmingham City University, England. “This is an important publication for anyone studying or working in the field of Further Education and Training in Ireland. It offers new and critical perspectives on current issues facing learners, practitioners and academics working in the field. It offers some thought-provoking questions to consider and shares some valuable examples from practice.” —Dr. Helen Murphy, Waterford Institute of Technology, Ireland.
