Ecologies for Learning and Practice: Emerging Ideas, Sightings, and Possibilities

Providing an insight into the research of a range of internationally renowned contributors, this book explores diverse topics from the higher education and adult learning worlds. These include:

• The challenges faced by education systems today
• The concept of ecologies for learning and practice
• The role and responsibility of higher education institutions in advancing ecological approaches to learning
• The different eco-social systems of the world—local and global, economic, cultural, practical, technological, and ethical
