It brings together thirty-seven authors from fourteen countries with extensive experience as academics and/or practitioners in the field. The book is inspired by the work and life of Lalage Bown, a leading proponent of post-colonial and inclusive visions of education for all. Over her long life she worked tirelessly to promote access to basic and higher education for people of all ages and backgrounds: with a deep commitment to striving for greater equality for women. Following an Introduction, the book is structured around four main themes: Adult Education and Social Justice; Decolonisation, Post-Colonialism and Indigenous Knowledge; From Literacy to Lifelong Learning; and, Fostering Excellence, Policy Development and Supporting Future Generation of Adult Educators. The book concludes with reflections on Lalage Bown's Enduring Legacy. 410 0$aStudies on Adult Learning and Education Series 517 $aAdult Education and Social Justice 606 $aAdult education 606 $aSocial justice 615 0$aAdult education. 615 0$aSocial justice. 676 $a374 700 $aSlowey$b Maria$01137956 701 $aHinzen$b Heribert$0244737 701 $aOmolewa$b Michael$01781226 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910886982803321 996 $aAdult Education and Social Justice$94305984 997 $aUNINA
