TL;DRAbstract

Many adult educators have roots in community development, both as an area of practice and as a research site for investigations into participation, citizen engagement, and adult education. As educators, they tend to see the intersection of community development with lifelong learning as pivotal to the regeneration and creation of "civil society," conceived of not in the Gramscian sense but in the widespread contemporary sense of the third sector between the state and industry.
