Abstract	Setting out some of the key debates and issues about innovations in lifelong learning, this book critically considers a range of sometimes competing perspectives. The book is organised in three sections, interlinked by the key themes of the book: cultural and other diversities; social justice pedagogies and practices; lifelong learning policies; global economic and social contexts; and, international perspectives. The book opens up ways to engage critically in what counts as innovatory practice in lifelong learning, locating a critical discussion of innovations in lifelong learning within an international and global framework. The first section of the book explores 'learning communities' in their diverse forms. Through community learning in Africa, men's sheds in Australia and the Women's Institute in the UK, the authors argue that cultural, gender and other diversities create both opportunities and challenges for innovations in lifelong learning, and that the innovative practices of informal learning can lead the way towards more inclusive 'mainstream' education. It outlines innovative frameworks that provide a broader perspective, incorporating issues of democracy, citizenship and social justice for diverse communities of learners. Section two centralises debates about learning participation and apparent non-participation, critically engaging with what are increasingly being seen as key issues in current lifelong learning policies: literacy, numeracy and information technologies. The section shows how more innovative pedagogic practices can increase participation for diverse groups of learners, including older learners. The final section turns to work-based learning and learning through work, drawing on issues of diversity, participation and non-participation already explored in earlier sections. Arguing for ways to widen participation for a sometimes forgotten group of learners, it explores the negotiations and re-negotiations between employers, learners and universities. All those working in the broad field of lifelong learning will benefit from Sue Jackson's comprehensive examination of the current debates in the field. These will include policy-makers, researchers, teachers, lecturers, educational managers and employers engaged with work-based learning. (DIPF/Orig.).
