Call for Papers 2010

The Adult Learner is the Irish journal of adult and community education founded in the mid 1980s.

It aims primarily to serve the needs of the adult education community in Ireland by providing a forum for critical reflection on the practices of teaching and learning. The journal aims to continue to make knowledge, research and writing accessible to the widest possible audience and emphasizes the implications of critique for practice. The journal has a long established practice of giving priority to subject matter that addresses disadvantage, social exclusion, equality, workplace learning and the study of the teacher/student relationship. Community education, literacy, citizenship and access issues are also of importance in the journal. While the journal gives priority to papers from Ireland it also welcomes papers from those working in the international arena which may be of interest in the Irish context.
