Présentation originale anglaise :

The Adult Education Research Conference (AERC) is an annual North American conference that provides a forum for adult education researchers to share their experiences and the results of their studies with students, other researchers, and practitioners from around the world.

In a sense, the AERC is also a retreat for members of the adult education community; an informal, collegial gathering where all are encouraged to enter into lively debate over the future direction of research in adult education.

Key conference topics will include race, gender, language, class, socio-cultural and political factors, sexual orientation, white racial identity, identity politics, social justice, perspective transformation, somatic learning, adult learning and development, critical theory, phenomenology, participatory research, historical methods, program planning, spirituality, hegemony and marginalization, critical pedagogy, critical race theory, on-line learning, globalization and internalization, literacy (ABE/BDE, ESL), community college and higher education, corrections, adult participation in educational activities, and much more!
