      abstract = {This Handbook provides a wide-ranging frame of reference  for researching adult and lifelong education and learning.  With contributions from scores of established and newer  scholars from six continents, the volume covers a diverse  range of geopolitical and social territories across the  world. Drawing on the multiple heritages that underpin  research on education and learning in adulthood, this  Handbook addresses the inner tensions between adult  education, adult learning, lifelong education, and lifelong  learning, by using current research and theorizations from  disciplinary backgrounds, including philosophy, psychology,  biology and neuroscience, anthropology, sociology, history,  political science, and economics. It provides an explicit  discussion of the differences and tensions between adult  and lifelong education and learning, and locates these in  different policy and historical contexts, theories and  practices. It explores a variety of discipline-based  theoretical perspectives, and highlights how these have  influenced, and been influenced by, research in the  education and learning of adults. The Handbook also  explores the inevitable frictions and dilemmas these  present, and carefully examines the role of the  international dimension in researching education and  learning in formal, non-formal and informal contexts,  beyond traditional schooling. This state-of-the-art,  comprehensive Handbook is the first of its kind to explore  adult education, lifelong education and lifelong learning  fully as distinct activities on an international scale. It  will be an indispensable reference resource for students of  education at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, and for  academic researchers, professionals and policy-makers  concerned with adult and community education, further and  vocational education, or work-based training and human  resource development.},
