Recenzje

"We highly recommend this book for readers who are hoping to learn more inclusive aspects of transformative learning theories and scrutinize transformation through different lenses. ... the book encourages us to ponder on what it means to think and act like adults and what constitutes the capability and responsibility of adult education. This book will be a good read for those who seek to understand what adult education should look like in this troubled era." (Hyunok Ryu, Adult Education Quarterly, February 13, 2020)

"This wide range of theoretical resources is a real strength of the book that challenged me to think carefully about my own assumptions." (Lyn Tett, Studies in the Education of Adults, May 22, 2019)
