Contemporary conversations and movements in adult education: From knowledge democracy to the aesthetic turn

Abstract

In this article, two key figures in the history of the International Council for Adult Education, one being the Secretary General, discuss some of the contemporary conversations and movements that we have been a part of and how we are contributing through these areas to the field of adult education. Budd focusses on knowledge democracy, community-based participatory research and social movement learning. Darlene shares new conceptualisations of aesthetics and gender justice and her research and pedagogical work in these two areas.
