Re-thinking Adult Education Research. Beyond the Pandemic

The book we are presenting is the result of reflection stemming from the European INTALL Project, Erasmus+ KA2 – Grant Agreement No. 2018-1-DE01- KA203-004272 (2018-2021), which, over the period from the start of September 2018 to the end of August 2021, allowed us to build know-how on some specific junctures of adult education. The project – International and Comparative Studies for Students and Practitioners in Adult Education and Lifelong Learning – was headed by Regina Egetenmeyer from the Julius-Maximilians-Universität in Würzburg. The book we are presenting sets out to provide a reflection on the educational issues that arose as the project progressed. The junctures around which the book revolves are the same that the project came to revolve around: methodology; the space for employability and digitalisation; learning and teaching; embracing the international dimension; and building master’s and PhD courses with a highly international vocation. The topics deal with a new frontier in adult education from indisputably innovative research perspectives. A condensation of reflections on adult education in Europe after the pandemic, the volume seeks to provide a standpoint from which to disseminate the innovative potential of the INTALL project for researchers of adult and higher education.
