This series explores the complex relationship between adult learning and social change. Instead of the common focus on adult literacy as kick-starting development, the series considers how adult learning and literacy can also emerge from processes of social change. Each volume introduces new theoretical and methodological lenses to investigate insights into adult learning and literacy based on original empirical research by the authors. Recognising that Governments from the Global North as well as the Global South have recently signed up to the Sustainable Development Goals, this series brings together research conducted in a wide range of countries, including Malawi, Nepal, China, the Philippines and the UK.
