Adult Education And The Nation-State: A Systematic Review Of Literature, Hye-Su Kuk Jan 2020

Adult Education And The Nation-State: A Systematic Review Of Literature, Hye-Su Kuk

Adult Education Research Conference

In this literature review, I analyze how the concept of the state is defined and used in empirical adult education research articles. Findings are in three themes of 1) systems of governance in adult education, 2) governmentality and contention, and 3) research challenging whether the state boundaries are blurred in the adult education literature. I discuss the implications of the findings in comparison to theoretical approaches toward the state in adult education.

Oh, East Is East, And West Is West, And Never The Two Shall Meet: A Critical Review Of Museum Studies And Adult Education Literature, Dana Dudzinska-Prezesmitzki, Robin S. Grenier Sep 2008

Oh, East Is East, And West Is West, And Never The Two Shall Meet: A Critical Review Of Museum Studies And Adult Education Literature, Dana Dudzinska-Prezesmitzki, Robin S. Grenier

Adult Education Research Conference

Both museum and adult learning researchers seek to understand how to best educate adults. Despite a plethora of common areas where the two fields intersect this review found limited evidence of shared epistemological, theoretical and empirical research or “roots”. Given the mutual interests of these fields it is argued that sharing of epistemological, theoretical and empirical research would benefit both. Implications and future research opportunities are discussed.
