Pedagogical Love in Adult Education

This academic work offers a comprehensive exploration of pedagogical love, positioning it not as a sentimental notion but as a powerful, transformative force within adult education. The book systematically builds its case, moving from foundational theories to practical applications, and situates the concept within critical frameworks like decolonization. Readers will find both a robust theoretical grounding and methodological approaches for integrating this philosophy into real-world teaching practices.

What makes this volume particularly compelling is its ambitious scope, examining how a loving pedagogy can reshape power dynamics and foster genuine empowerment in diverse learning environments. The analysis extends to its potential within teacher education, suggesting a paradigm shift for how educators approach their craft. This is essential reading for adult educators, educational researchers, and anyone invested in creating more humane and effective learning spaces where care and critical pedagogy intersect.
