013704 Global/Local Learning

Postgraduate
Subject coordinator: David Boud

The processes of globalisation reconfigures the international and local contexts in which practices and policies of adult learning are being debated and redesigned. Globalisation is an economic process which also permeates the political, social, cultural and environmental spheres to impact on everyday life. In many societies, the challenges of creating equality, equity and democracy at grassroots levels in communities, workplaces and institutions compete with the macroeconomic needs of the global markets. Debates about 'globalisation' are also debates about 'development'. This subject invites students to study competing interpretations of 'globalisation' and 'development' in order to critically analyse adult learning practices at local and global levels and to understand the interplay between the two.
