Through these debates, adults are construed as \u003ci\u003enot yet \u003c\/i\u003ecitizens, despite already being citizens in a formal sense; this book problematises such regimes of truth and their related notions of the possibilities and impossibilities of adult education and citizenship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on empirical examples from the two main adult education institutions in Sweden, folk high schools and municipal adult education, it argues that, through current regimes of truth, these institutions become spaces for the re-shaping of the \"abnormal\" citizen. The book suggests that only certain futures of citizenship and its educational provision are made possible, while other futures are ignored or even made impossible to imagine. Offering a unique focus on critically problematising the role of adult education in relation to the fostering and shaping of citizens, the book addresses the important contemporary challenges of the role of adult education in a time of migration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdult Education and the Formation of Citizens will be of great interest to academics, researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of adult education, lifelong learning and education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAndreas Fejes\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Professor and Chair of Adult Education Research at Linköping University, Sweden. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMagnus Dahlstedt is a Professor in Social Work at Linköping University, Sweden. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaria Olson is a Professor in Educational work at Dalarna University, and a Professor in Subject Education at Stockholm University, Sweden.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFredrik Sandberg is a Lecturer in Education at Lund University, Sweden. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 138\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 9.1 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 01, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52509391749427,"sku":"9780367487737","price":104.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/UWYzQ3BleS9Cd1EzZVByS2xSblVSQT09.webp?v=1760263124","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/adult-education-and-the-formation-of-citizens-a-critical-interrogation-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
