Access, Lifelong Learning and Education for All - Friday 6th October 2023 13.30 - 17.30
Access, Lifelong Learning and Education for All
Speakers include Professor John McKendrick, Commissioner for Fair Access in Scotland
A half-day symposium will be held on Friday, October 6, at Glasgow Caledonian University to launch a book to commemorate Professor Jim Gallacher, a Glasgow Caledonian professor and former member of the Scottish Funding Council, who died in 2021.
The book – Access, Lifelong Learning and Education for All – was published by Palgrave MacMillan in the Spring and edited by Professor Gareth Parry (University of Sheffield), Professor Mike Osborne (University of Glasgow) and Professor Peter Scott (University College London). The distinguished contributors from around the world including Germany, South Africa, the United States, Canada, India and Ireland explored a number of themes, most of which reflected Jim’s own work. They include alternative pathways into higher education, through further education and community colleges and higher vocational qualifications; adult education in Africa; and community-based adult education.
Speakers and contributors will include Professor John McKendrick, Commissioner for Fair Access in Scotland, Professor Ruth Whittaker (University of Brighton), Paul Little (Principal, City of Glasgow College), Professor Terry Mayes (Glasgow Caledonian University) and the three editors.
The symposium will be held in the Lantern Room within the Annie Lennox Building at Glasgow Caledonian University, Cowcaddens Road, Glasgow G4 0BA, and will start at 1.30 and end at 5.30. Refreshments will be served before and afterwards.
We would be delighted if you could join us: Peter Scott, Gareth Parry and Mike Osborne
