Learning Communities and Imagined Social Capital : Learning to Belong PDF
by Professor Jocey Quinn
Part of the Continuum Studies in Educational Research series
Description
This volume critically explores themes of belonging, learning and community, drawing on a range of research studies conducted with adult learners in formal and informal contexts and employing interdisciplinary theory from education, feminist theory, cultural studies and human geography.
Dominant but simplistic and regulatory ideas and practices of learning community in higher education and lifelong learning are critiqued.
Instead, Jocey Quinn argues that learners gain most benefit from creating their own symbolic communities and networks, which help to produce imagined social capital.
A rich variety of empirical data is used to explore and demonstrate how such imagined social capital works.
