✦ Synopsis

Thirty-four leading scholars from 10 countries challenge established understandings of lifelong learning and work in this provocative counter-narrative. Drawn from the Fifth International Researching Work and Learning Conference, this exploration offers a radical critique of the underlying societal power relations that dictate the possibilities for learning/work and considers alternatives steeped in social justice. Among the topics examined are how social justice and sustainability for the majority in the world are interlinked with work and the workplace environment and knowledge is formally and informally generated in workplaces worldwide and why long-held principles of work and lifelong learning should be turned inside out through a rigorous critique of underlying social relations and practices in order to better understand the power relations shaping potential learning and work outcomes.
