It concludes that while there has been an element of public funding substituting for private and employer sources, the initiative has contributed to lifelong learning objectives by drawing in new participants and by encouragin…

It incorporates theoretical perspectives from Bourdieu and Williams with case‐study material obtained through observation, questionnaire and interview at a South London adult education centre in 1986/87. Bourgeois culture is seen as the exception rather than the rule in adult education. Adult education provides space for a number of alternative cultural formulati…
Understanding adult education and leisure
This paper deals with one part of a research project which aimed to identify a solid sociological base for a variety of adult education activities, through a combination of analytical and ethnographic approaches.

This article reflects on some of the special difficulties of the worker-researcher and on the research strategies adopted. I begin by identifying some problems in the sociology of education, especially in relation to adult education. The overall approach of my research is then defined as being in the trad…
