Description

Amidst the reverberations of neoliberalism, academia grapples with a rising precariat facing short-term contracts and heightened flexibility, particularly in adult, community, and vocational education. This escalating issue presents a myriad of challenges, creating a need for thoughtful exploration and meaningful solutions. Precarity, fueled by globalized politics, disproportionately impacts educators, creating a complex landscape. Within this context, the book Facing Precarity in Adult, Community, and Vocational Education: Role of Meaningful Work emerges as a critical guide. By delving into the intricacies of precarity, shedding light on inadequacies in current theories, and exploring the role of unions, this volume serves as a comprehensive resource. It not only illuminates the experiences of the precariat but also proposes strategies for cultivating meaningful work and self-care within the tumultuous terrain of modern academia. This thought-provoking volume is crafted for a diverse audience, including writers, researchers, and practitioners actively involved in adult, community, and vocational education. Additionally, it is an essential resource for those seeking a nuanced understanding of the impacts of neoliberalism on employment and precarity, the pivotal role of unions in educational settings, and the intersection of meaningful work and self-care within the realm of academia. Educators at all levels, administrators, policymakers, and advocates for labor rights will find this book to be a valuable and insightful guide as they navigate the complexities of contemporary education and employment landscapes.
