Nurturing Social Capital in Excluded Communities: A Kind of Higher Education

By Ann-Marie Houghton and Julia Preece

This text presents action research findings on two contemporary issues: how to create an accessible and relevant higher education for adults, and how to document the wider social and non-economic benefits of learning amongst people who do not contribute directly to the nation's wealth creation through waged work. The book starts from the premise that full employment in the conventional sense is unlikely to be a future reality.
