Praise for The Handbook of Transformative Learning
"This book will be of inestimable value to students and scholarsof learning irrespective of whether or not their emphasis is ontransformative learning. It should find its way to the referencebookshelves of every academic library focusing on education,teaching, learning, or the care professions."
--Peter Jarvis, professor of continuing education, Universityof Surrey
"Can there be a coherent theory of transformative learning?Perhaps. This handbook goes a long way to answering this questionby offering a kaleidoscope of perspectives, including non-Western,that consider the meaning and practice oftransformativelearning."
--Shauna Butterwick, associate professor, University of BritishColumbia
"This handbook will be valuable and accessible to both scholarsand practitioners who are new to the study of adult education andtransformative learning and to more seasoned scholars who seek asophisticated analysis of the state of transformative learningthirty years after Mezirow first shared his version of athen-fledgling theory of adult learning."
