Abstract "Offering new theoretical, empirical and methodological perspectives on adult literacy, lifelong learning and social change, this book challenges traditional debates on adult literacy and development. Bringing together debates and research from the Global South and Global North, the volume focuses on literacy learning in classrooms and educational programmes, as well as literacy practices and adult learning in everyday spaces. A valuable resource for researchers, teachers, and policy makers, the book offers new ways of understanding adult literacy and learning in our rapidly changing world"-- Provided by publisher.
