The Journal of Adult and Continuing Education is essential for keeping in touch with the field of post-compulsory education. Published twice a year, it provides a forum for rigorous theoretical and practical work in the broad fields of lifelong learning and adult, community and continuing education.

The journal focuses on international and national issues and is aimed at researchers, professionals and practitioners in all sectors. It publishes both research articles and reflections on policy and practice, and offers opportunities for all concerned with post-compulsory education to make contributions to debate.

The journal is available online to subscribers.

Published by NIACE, the Journal of Adult and Continuing Education is supported by Scottish Adult Learning Partnership, Universities Association for Lifelong Learning, the Forum for the Advancement of Continuing Education, the Scottish Further Education Unit and the European Universities Continuing Education Network.

Reviews

“Hitting the right pitch between critical analysis and practicality is not an easy task and yet I suspect that this is what most adult educators are looking for in a publication. JACE is aimed at achieving this difficult combination of analysis and relevance and deserves a wide audience for its end product."
(John Benseman, University of Auckland, co-editor of the New Zealand Journal of Adult Learning)
