Abstract

This paper reports on the first stage of an ongoing research project: how three Canadian adult education programs, which share the common mission of providing access to the study of the liberal arts for non-traditional adult learners, have evolved over the past few years. We consider both the commonalities and variances across the programs to understand how each iteration’s socio-political context has informed their interpretation of the common mission.

One Size Fits All? Reflecting on Local Program Planning Processes Among Three Iterations of the “Clemente” Program

This paper reports on the first stage of an ongoing research project: how three Canadian adult education programs, which share the common mission of providing access to the study of the liberal arts for non-traditional adult learners, have evolved over the past few years. We consider both the commonalities and variances across the programs to understand how each iteration’s socio-political context has informed their interpretation of the common mission.
