Abstract
The call for chapters for this book was inspired by the shock of COVID-19 impacting
on the adult and community education sector in our country. However, the
proposals for chapter after chapter that landed in our inboxes underscored the
reality that people active in this field are constantly buffeted in the waves of a
whole range of crises, and that they lack protections taken for granted by many
practitioners in other sectors.
Consequently, this book offers a collection of chapters describing a wide range of
crises that affect both learners and educators in adult and community education.
Written by people working in this sphere, it makes available practitioners’ firsthand
experiences of the impact of some of the more sudden and acute crises, as
well as their experiences of dealing with more enduring and enervating problems.
