Pedagogical Love in Adult Education

This volume explores pedagogical love as a transformative force, in adult learning settings, in historical perspectives, and in its application in educational systems. It examines both the theoretical foundations and methodological applications of pedagogical love. On the one hand, this book contains basic introductory chapters on the topic of pedagogical love, and on the other hand, it places this concept in the context of decolonisation and critical pedagogy. It also explores the possibilities of pedagogical love in teacher training, both in specific pedagogical fields such as second language teaching or literacy, and in specific cultural contexts such as Asia, Europe, Africa, North and South America. Additionally, it examines educational love in the context of current processes of transformation and digitalisation, with focus on purely digital environments and artificial intelligence. Through offering a broad insight into the topic of pedagogical love and providing new perspectives for different research areas in adult education, this book is a must-read for researchers, lecturers and practitioners.
