Trans-nationalization of Educational Policy Making: Implications for Adult and Lifelong Learning

Globalization, and the trans-nationalization of education policy-making which accompanies it, have many implications for policy studies in adult and lifelong learning. As globalization deepens, so does its impact on national policies and on how educational research is done.

The inaugural conference of the ESREA Network on Policy Studies in Adult Education will explore how globalisation affects agency and policy processes and how it affects the conditions or structures under which policy processes occur.

It also aims to deepen our understanding of how scientific inquiry – as a means of comprehending and interpreting current policy processes and their implications – can accompany and provide support for contemporary developments in adult learning and education.

Keynote Speakers:

• Susan Robertson (Professor of the Sociology of Education, University of Bristol)
• Kjell Rubenson (Professor of Adult Education, University of British Columbia) 

Please note that registration for the conference closed Friday 3 February 2012 at 13.00.
