Sommario/riassunto |
|
Useful for students, researchers and policy makers wanting a sound overview of the critical issues of gender in lifelong learning, this book offers a view from a gender-focused perspective. It questions if lifelong learning provides opportunities to challenge or transgress gender binaries, what the implications for practice are, and more. |
