Higher Education and Lifelong Learning International Perspectives on Change
Biography
Hans G. Schuetze joined the University of British Columbia in 1991 as Professor of Higher Education and Research Associate at the Centre for Policy Studies in Higher Education and Training. His research interests and publications are in the fields of post-secondary education and training, comparative and international education.
Maria Slowey is Professor and Director of Adult and Continuing Education at the University of Glasgow where she is also Vice Dean (Research) in the Faculty of Education. She is involved in research and policy analysis on post-compulsory education, in particular adult participation in education and training. Both authors have worked extensively with intergovernmental bodies, including the OECD, EU, and the Council of Europe.
'This latest collection ... both preserves this record [of work undertaken by the international community of continuing education advocates] and contributes to the reputation of an important scholarly community. Schuetze and Slowey ... neatly capture the strain implicit in national provision that has not caught up with either policy or rhetoric about lifelong learning and the service of non-traditional students.' - David Watson, Studies in the Education of Adults
