Houle Award \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis 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.\u003cbr\u003eAt 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laura Formenti, Linden West\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3319963872\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783319963877\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/10\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 323\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.81d","brand":"Laura Formenti","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44829640655103,"sku":"9783319963877","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_207a2c66-2384-4588-902f-c3049544e12b.jpg?v=1708451292","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/transforming-perspectives-in-lifelong-learning-laura-formenti-9783319963877","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
