Synopsis "The Working Men's College and the Tradition of Adult Education (Routledge Studies in Modern British History)"
The Working Men's College is the UK's oldest continuously running adult education institution, and a very distinctive example of the British adult education tradition. This volume brings the history of the WMC up to date, following the 1954 centenary history by JFC Harrison.Contributions from a range of professional educators explore topics such as the philosophy of the College, the issue of women's entry, college governance, and the notion of community as it applies to changes in the composition of the student body. Additional features include a chapter on the architectural history of the College; an interview with Satnam Gill as the key figure who drove through crucial change at a time when the College might have died; a chapter from the latest member of a family which has been closely involved with the College over four generations; and a range of personal contributions from tutors and students from the past six decades.This book will be of interest to historians of the 19th and 20th centuries, all those in UK adult education, along with local Camden/London community and political groups and the WMC's extensive family of former students and tutors.
