Reviews

I recommend this book for graduate students and faculty, respectively developing as researchers and seeking to expand scholarly thought and research. The editors express their hope that the book will inspire empirical investigations and debate about the field, and upon reading, I find myself inspired and believe you will be inspired, too. (Catherine A. Cherrstrom, Adult Education Quarterly, April 24, 2020) This is a worthwhile, informative read. (Camilla Fitzsimons, Studies in the Education of Adults, Vol. 47 (2), 2019)
