A volume in Adult Education Special Topics: Theory, Research,and Practice in Lifelong LearningSeries Editor: Kathleen P. King, University of South FloridaDeveloping and Sustaining Adult Learners is the second volume in a series of scholarly publications associated with theannual Adult Higher Education Alliance (AHEA, The Alliance) conference. The title of this volume, derived from thetheme of the 2012 conference co-sponsored by American Association of Adult and Continuing Education (AAACE) inLas Vegas, NV, encompasses significant issues and questions at the forefront of the field of adult education. At theconference, scholars, practitioners, and adult educators gave presentations and received feedback on some of the mostsignificant and timely issues in their praxis. The Alliance, which values collaboration, transformative dialogue, andcollegiality among professionals, considers this volume a continuation of those conversations as the presentations wereexpanded into chapters. We are glad that you are joining the conversation.This volume confirms not only that adult learning, higher education, and both fields of research have many contexts, butalso that there is so much more to learn about different perspectives and opportunities for research and practice. Opportunities for symbiotic relationship abound. Wehope that Developing and Sustaining Adult Learners will be a book that you pull off your bookshelf, or open in your e-reader, often. We know that as we engage inprogram and course planning, design and teaching, this book will provide needed refreshment and new vision. When research ideas seem too similar, this volume willalso provide many seeds for new opportunities.
