This book argues that feminist aesthetics as practices of adult education can inform our responses to gendered, racial, class and ecological injustices. It illustrates the critical, creative, and provocative pedagogical theorising, research, and engagement work of feminist adult educators and researchers who work in diverse community, institutional, and social movement contexts across North America and Europe. This book captures the complexity, diversity, energy, and imagination of those who theorise, decolonise, facilitate, investigate, visualize, story, and create within the politics of gender (in)justice and radical change.

Darlene E. Clover is Professor of Adult Education and Leadership Studies at University of Victoria, Canada. Kathy Sanford is Professor of Curriculum and Instruction at the University of Victoria, Canada. Kerry Harman is Senior Lecturer at Birkbeck, University of London, UK.
