This escalating issue presents a myriad of challenges, creating a need for thoughtful exploration and meaningful solutions. Precarity, fueled by globalized politics, disproportionately impacts educators, creating a complex landscape. Within this context, the book Facing Precarity in Adult, Community, and Vocational Education: Role of Meaningful Work emerges as a critical guide. By delving into the intricacies of precarity, shedding light on inadequacies in current theories, and exploring the role of unions, this volume serves as a comprehensive resource. It not only illuminates the experiences of the precariat but also proposes strategies for cultivating meaningful work and self-care within the tumultuous terrain of modern academia. This thought-provoking volume is crafted for a diverse audience, including writers, researchers, and practitioners actively involved in adult, community, and vocational education. Additionally, it is an essential resource for those seeking a nuanced understanding of the impacts of neoliberalism on employment and precarity, the pivotal role of unions in educational settings, and the intersection of meaningful work and self-care within the realm of academia. Educators at all levels, administrators, policymakers, and advocates for labor rights will find this book to be a valuable and insightful guide as they navigate the complexities of contemporary education and employment landscapes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rupert Clive Collister\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798369310991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e IGI Global\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/08\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.81d","brand":"Rupert Clive Collister","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48874464477439,"sku":"9798369310991","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/facing-precarity-in-adult-community-rupert-clive-collister-9798369310991","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
