Field, John – Adults Learning, 2012
Community development and adult learning have long shared a common agenda--and often a common fate. People in both sectors are concerned with supporting people to develop their skills and knowledge, and to put them to use in the world around them.

The UK's coalition government wants to build a "Big Society."

English, Leona M. – New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, 2009
It is just about impossible to find an adult education department in Canada that does not have a critical social justice orientation, quite often oriented to community development.

Ledwith, Margaret – Educational Action Research, 2007
This paper engages with some of the specific issues that challenge critical practice. My argument is related to the Carr and Kemmis debate on "staying critical" and to ideas expressed in my current book, "Community Development: A Critical Approach."

West, Linden – Adults Learning, 2005
This article focuses on the nature of "family learning" programmes in marginalised communities.
