Being an Adult Learner in Austere Times
Ellen Boeren, Nalita James
- Palgrave macmillan

This book examines the experiences of adult learners in times of austerity. The power of adult education to transform lives is well known, and it is especially powerful for those who missed out on educational opportunities earlier in life. Those who have been successful learners in the past are more likely to continue their education and training, making extra support and funding ever-more important: however, in the current economic and political climate, support for adult learning is significantly decreasing. This book sheds light on the experiences of adult learners, despite the difficulties facing the sector: interweaving empirical discussions with theoretical debates, the editors and contributors demonstrate the challenges and struggles of adult learners in higher, further and community education. This enlightening edited collection will be of interest to all those involved in adult education as well as policy makers and funders.

Cet automne, la revue Ciel variable consacre son portfolio principal à trois artistes intéressés par le phénomène de migration. « La frontière est devenue une sorte de non-lieu, une zone hors nations, où l'identité des migrants est mise en examen et leur statut tenu en suspens pour un temps de plus en plus long et indéterminé. » Ce numéro aborde certains aspects de cette traversée des frontières avec Roxham de Michel Huneault, The Castle de Richard Mosse et The Space Between the Seconds d'Émilie Serri qui traitent de l'accueil réservé aux migrants, de leur intégration et des questionnements identitaires suscités par de telles mouvances territoriales. La section « Focus », elle, propose trois articles, l'un sur le collectif Outre-vie / Afterlife créé par Raymonde April en 2013, l'un sur la photographie comme acte de collaboration et l'autre sur l'exposition Michel Campeau - avant le numérique.
