Social Change and Adult Education Research

The present yearbook is the fourth in the series Social Changes and Adult Education Research. The primary aim of the yearbooks in this series is to present the most recent and on-going research on adult education to an international audience. This year's book reflects the major trends in research over the the last two years.

The primary source for the two first volumes in the series was papers presented at the annual Nordic Researchers' Conferences in General and Adult Education which are held at the Nordic Folk Academy, Gothenburg, Sweden. However, the last two yearbooks do not share a similar association with this researchers' conference. Many of the articles presented are written by researchers, who did not take part in last summer's conference, held in June 1994.
