      abstract = {This book constructs a deepening, interdisciplinary  understanding of adult learning and imaginatively reframes  its transformative aspects. The authors explore the tension  at the heart of current understanding of 'transformative'  adult learning: that while it can be framed as both easy  and imperative, personal transformation is in fact rooted  in the context in which we live, our stories and  relationships. At its core, transformation is never easy -  nor always desirable - and the authors thus draw on  interdisciplinary and auto/biographical inquiry to explore  what it means to change our presuppositions and frames of  meaning that guide our thinking. Using their linguistic,  gendered, academic and cultural differences, the authors  illuminate how the social, contextual, cultural, cognitive  and psychological dimensions of transformation intertwine.  In doing so, they emphasise the importance of  transformation as a contingent struggle for meaning and  recognition, social justice, fraternity, and the pursuit of  truth. This engaging book will be of interest to students  and scholars of transformative learning and education.},
