Going around the long route to get where I want to be: Exploring the university experiences of care leaver students
There is an evident, systemic lack of understanding regarding the university success of care leaver students. The few studies in this area indicate that care leavers tend to be highly independent, motivated, and determined to academically succeed, yet also more likely to face compound disadvantage that can impact their participation and completion. The current study sought to better understand the perceived support needs of care leaver university…

Rationalities that underpin employability provision in higher education across eight countries
This article explores the rationalities advanced by 18 higher education institutions, located across eight countries, for developing and delivering employability provision. The article uses Sultana’s Habermasian-derived framework to categorise rationalities as either technocratic, humanistic or emancipatory. Based on a series of semi-structured dialogic interviews, the article explores how key strategic and operational personnel within higher edu…

Lifelong education and learning has remained one of the highest prioritised topics for countries, political bodies, and enterprises for several decades while also representing a dynamic and vibrant research field and community.Within the context of lifelong education and learning policy, practice, and research, the notion of 'skills' has emerged as a crucial approach and theme that has gathered significant attention in Europe and beyond.The empha…
Civic lifelong education: Fostering informed citizenship amidst global challenges and democratic transformations
Amidst times of wars, societal conflicts, global climate change and polarisations that are perceived as threats to democratic coexistence, there is a recurring call in the public discourse for the strengthening of civic lifelong education (Banks et al., 2023;Hurtado, 2019;Krzywosz-Rynkiewicz & Kennedy, 2022;Petrie et al., 2019).The pressing need to foster an informed and engaged citizenry becomes increasingly evident as societies grapple with com…

Imagining the futures for lifelong education under the “promissory legitimacy” of international organisations
What’s in a name – lifelong education or development
The International Journal of Lifelong Education regularly draws attention to shifts in the delivery modes of education and changes that need to be addressed to reshape the future of the planet and human experience (Milana et al., Citation2023). These reflections continue in this editorial, which considers the underlying purposes of adult education in a climate where the link between education and the rhetoric of human capital grows ever closer
Balancing the books: How We Can Better Support Students Who Are Parents
Striking a balance between being a parent and being a student can place heavy demands on time and energy. Many students who are parents have employment obligations and financial concerns which create additional barriers to success. Despite these difficulties, institutional support for students who are parents is often limited. Common challenges include accessing adequate on-campus childcare and parenting rooms, and scheduling study around care co…
Lifelong education research over 40 years: Insights from the International Journal of Lifelong Education
With this special issue of the International Journal of Lifelong Education, we complete a two-year celebration and critical examination of the field of adult lifelong education, prompted by the journal’s fortieth anniversary. In this editorial we provide a brief account of this celebration and its rationale, but also devote attention to the origins and early years of the journal itself
Shaping the field of lifelong education through three critical debates in the International Journal of Lifelong Education
The editors approached the 40th anniversary of the International Journal of Lifelong Education as an opportunity to consider the field by exploring how a corpus of 1462 articles (the first 40 volumes of the journal) questioned and shaped the field. A subset of advisory board members and the editors gathered in 2021 in groups to analyse major topics. The records of the reading, analyses and discussions of these groups offer a unique snapshot of th…
Theorising adults, theorising learning
The irony of all theorising is its propensity to generate, not an understanding, but a not-yet-understood. (Oakshot, in Muller, 2015, p. 1) \n \nAdult learning theory is one of the central domains of lifelong education research. Anyone coming to the study of adults as they adapt to and change in life, work and education will encounter theories such as ‘behaviourism’, ‘cognitive psychology’, and ‘humanist psychology’, often expanded to include adu…
School choice to religiously discriminate: Religiopolitical activism and secularism in public schooling
This paper traces the influence of failed Christian organisation Logos Foundation on Australian secular schooling debates across the 1970s and 1980s. Concerned with the changing nature of secular schooling in the 1970s and 1980s, religiopolitical organisations lobbied for increased parental choice in the ethos of education for their children. Logos, a Christian Right group connected to US think tank of the religious right, The Chalcedon Foundatio…
Graduate employability and the career thinking of university STEMM students
If graduates from STEMM – science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medical sciences – are to successfully navigate the labour market, they need diverse capabilities alongside self- and career awareness. The focus of this study was STEMM students’ perceptions of self, career and employability. The study asked over 2,000 commencing students to respond to an open question which asked how long they intended to work in their discipline. The f…
Tracing the changing value of higher education through English prospectuses 1976–2013
This study investigates the changing discourses of the value of degrees in prospectuses between 1976 and 2013, chosen due to the massification of higher education and use of the particular marketing tool of prospectuses. This research analysed the messages in prospectuses through the period in four English higher education institutions of different status, to consider how these changes reveal the communication of the value of the idea of a degree…
The role of hybrid learning spaces in enhancing higher education students’ employability
Graduate employment rates and self‐reported employability are increasingly a feature of higher education funding measures. However, graduate outcomes do not denote the whole learning experience of the student nor is the student experience reducible to a single statistic. This paper discusses a design‐centric approach to employability development which was enacted within a hybrid learning space . The study engaged 52 final‐year speech pathology st…

Massification, Marketisation and Loss of Differentiation in Pre-Entry Marketing Materials in UK Higher Education
Since the mid-1970s, the higher education system in the UK has massified. Over this period, the government policy drivers for higher education have shifted towards a homogenised rationale, linking higher education to the economic well-being of the country. The massification of higher education has involved a widening of participation from traditional students to new and diverse student cohorts with differing information needs. The increased posit…
