Older Men’s Learning and Conviviality

  • Chapter
Learning across Generations in Europe

Part of the book series: Research on the Education and Learning of Adults ((ESRE))

Abstract

The theoretical insights I bring to build the case come from reflections on empirical research in ten very diverse nations, presented both in Men learning through life (Golding et al., 2014), as well as from Older men learning in the community: European snapshots (Radovan & Krasovec, 2014).
