Bringing together practitioners, program directors and universities to explore common practice, research and theory in adult education, community education, continuing education, workforce development, and higher education.

Articles may be submitted for consideration in the following areas: refereed articles, book reviews, issues and trends, invited research summaries and best practice. This journal is published twice a year. (The inaugural issue was published in November 2002.)
