<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In amongst all of the difficult stories at the moment,\nwe have some great news to report. Professor of Education here at Canterbury\nChrist Church, Dr Linden West, has been inducted into the International Adult\nand Continuing Education Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the Hall of Fame<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based out of the University of Oklahoma in Norman,\nOklahoma, the Hall of Fame is designed to honour those who have proven\nthemselves to be leaders in the fields of continuing education and adult\nlearning. Established in 1993 with the first formal inauguration in 1996, the\nHall of Fame has international reach and whilst most of the ceremonial side of\nthings takes place in the USA, it has also undertaken ceremonies in Germany in\nthe past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being inducted into the International Adult and\nContinuing Education Hall of Fame is not just about rewarding those who are\ncurrently at the top of their game, however; the hall of fame aims to inspire\nthe next generation of education leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2020 induction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year’s induction took place at the annual\nprofessional development symposium of the Council of College and Military\nEducators in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Dr Lynden West was in attendance\nalongside five other inductees. He said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn an increasingly complicated society, an\nimportant role of education is to enable people to engage with others in order\nto understand ourselves.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the induction into the Hall of Fame\nprocess, Dr West’s work in influencing adult education in Europe and North\nAmerica was recognised, as well as the work he does and continues to do in his\nrole here at Christ Church. The nomination said of him:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He challenges adult education scholars to go\nbeyond traditional disciplinary and conceptual boundaries by combining\npsychoanalytic perspectives and critical theory to refine a theory of\nself\/other recognition.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a professor of education at Canterbury Christ\nChurch University, where he is also Director of Research Development, he\nestablished an autobiographical and narrative research theme group that focused\non learning and educational processes among professionals, families,\nnon-traditional adult students and learners, and those who have become\nalienated from learning in post-industrial communities<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His book, Transforming Perspectives in Lifelong\nLearning and Adult Education, <\/em>co-authored with Laura Formenti and which won\nthe 2019 Cyril O. Houle Price for Outstanding Literature in Adult Education,\nwas also cited in his nomination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The whole of the Faculty of Education would like\nto congratulate Dr West on his induction into the Hall of Fame!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
