Lifelong Learning in Europe
Based on a 5-year research project conducted by experts in 13 countries, this comprehensive book analyses the ways in which national characteristics frame the Lifelong Learning agenda.
Adult Learning in Modern Societies
As industrial societies increasingly evolve into knowledge-based economies, the importance of education as a lifelong process is greater than ever. This comprehensive book provides a state-of-the-art analysis of adult learning across the world and with
Taking Steps
Formal adult education definitely exists as a phenomenon, yet few researchers have tried to explain it. Contrary to non-formal educational courses, the 'social charter' of formal adult education allows an adult learner to become eligible for taking steps upwards on educational and career ladders. Anchored in organizational institutionalism and based on empirical studies in 12 European countries conducted within a large-scale research project within the Sixth EU Framework Program (LLL2010), this book explores the link between individual participation, educational provision, and employers' responses to provide the institutional basis for fulfilling one central promise of lifelong learning: sup...
Die Bedeutung von Institutionen für die Weiterbildung Älterer
Veronika Philipps untersucht in ihrer empirischen Studie, welche Institutionen die Länderunterschiede in Europa bei den relativen Nachteilen Älterer in der erwerbsbezogenen Weiterbildung erklären. Die Befunde unterstreichen die hohe Bedeutung von Arbeitsmarkt- und Bildungsinstitutionen für die Weiterbildungsbeteiligung von Personen in der späten Erwerbsphase, insbesondere weitreichende staatliche und betriebliche Weiterbildungsstrukturen sowie ein duales Berufsausbildungssystem. Damit werden neue Erkenntnisse zur in der Weiterbildung unterrepräsentierten Gruppe der Älteren gewonnen, indem das Verfahren der Qualitative Comparative Analysis zur Analyse der Wirkung von Kombinationen von Institutionen genutzt wird.
Rethinking Gender, Work and Care in a New Europe
Given the growing importance of Eastern European countries in the development of the EU, there is an urgent need to reconstruct the recent dynamic developments in women's work and care in these societies, and the socio-political determinants thereof. Considering their specific cultural, economic and historical development, it can be assumed that the trends and determinants of women's labour market trajectories in CEE countries differ significantly from those in the other European countries that have frequently made up the basis for established theories in social and labour market research. This being the case, can 'standard' theoretical approaches, mostly modelled on evidence from Western Europe, be transferred to the analysis of Eastern European countries? This edited collection scrutinises pivotal aspects of women's careers in Eastern Europe, providing a detailed overview of trends and determinants of women's employment in Eastern Europe, and reflecting critically on theoretical approaches in social and labour market research.
Adult and Lifelong Education
Adult and Lifelong Education explores why politicians, researchers, and practitioners involved in educating post-school young people and adults have quietly abandoned the term ‘education’ in favour of ‘learning’. Bringing together contributions from experienced as well as younger scholars, and from Europe, North America, and Australasia, it draws on global, national, and local perspectives to reveal key features of adult education’s policy environment. At the book’s heart are three main concerns. First, what is the spatial reach of these developments, and what processes of fluidity and fixity emerge? Second, does increased state and international recognition of civil society’s ...
Wissenschaft und Technologie für Acht Milliarden Menschen
Sollte Europa durch den richtigen Einsatz entsprechender Wissenschaften und Technologien nicht eine Führungsrolle darin übernehmen können, einem immer weiter wachsenden Prozentsatz der Erdbevölkerung ein menschenwürdiges Leben zu ermöglichen, ohne die Ökosphäre zu zerstören? Was wären die kurz-, mittel- und langfristigen Prioritäten einer solchen Zielsetzung und wie könnte die weltweite Gemeinde der Wissenschaftler und Technologieentwickler diese am besten einsetzen, um den Grundbedürfnissen und Hoffnungen der 8 Milliarden Menschen entgegenzukommen, die unseren Planeten im Jahre 2020 bewohnen werden?
25 Years of Transformations of Higher Education Systems in Post-Soviet Countries
This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This open access book is a result of the first ever study of the transformations of the higher education institutional landscape in fifteen former USSR countries after the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. It explores how the single Soviet model that developed across the vast and diverse territory of the Soviet Union over several decades has evolved into fifteen unique national systems, systems that have responded to national and global developments while still bearing some traces of the past. The book is distinctive as it presents a comprehensive analysis of the reforms and transformations in the region in the last 25 years; and it ...
Inter-imperiality
In Inter-imperiality Laura Doyle theorizes the co-emergence of empires, institutions, language regimes, stratified economies, and literary cultures over the longue durée. Weaving together feminist, decolonial, and dialectical theory, she shows how inter-imperial competition has generated a systemic stratification of gendered, racialized labor, while literary and other arts have helped both to constitute and to challenge this world order. To study literature is therefore, Doyle argues, to attend to world-historical processes of imaginative and material co-formation as they have unfolded through successive eras of vying empires. It is also to understand oral, performed, and written literatures as power-transforming resources for the present and future. To make this case, Doyle analyzes imperial-economic processes across centuries and continents in tandem with inter-imperially entangled literatures, from A Thousand and One Nights to recent Caribbean fiction. Her trenchant interdisciplinary method reveals the structural centrality of imaginative literature in the politics and possibilities of earthly life.
