Based in the School of Education at the University of Glasgow, CR&DALL pursues a range of research activities which have relevance to the theme of lifelong learning. Our objective is to make a real difference through the contribution that adult education and lifelong learning can make to social justice, social inclusion and poverty reduction - a contribution that has received relatively limited recognition to date.

CR&DALL's aim is to conduct inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary research and development activities in adult education and lifelong learning in order to achieve observable impacts with respect to social justice, social inclusion and poverty reduction. CR&DALL pursues a range of research activities which have relevance to the theme of lifelong learning. Currently our research focus includes Citizenship, Civil Society, Community-based Learning, Literacy, Poverty and International Development, and Widening Participation.

The Working Paper series provides a forum for work in progress which seeks to elicit comments and generate discussion. The series includes academic research by CR&DALL Core Members, Affiliates and Associates, PhD students and invited guest contributors.
