Reviews

Ellen Boeren's book aims to summarise the main findings of participation research done so far. The book is well-structured, and starts with definitions and a description of the problems related to adult participation. ... Training providers and adult educators will also benefit from reading this book. The book also serves researchers who are not familiar with participation research, and want to have a quick, first general overview over what we know about participation so far. (Jyri Manninen, International Review of Education, Vol. 64 (05), October, 2018)
