Abstract
How do the discourses of adult education, as constituted through the ideology of liberal pluralism, work to foreclose challenges posed by feminist and antiracist critiques? I work with four different sites which are key to unravelling how our discourses of inclusion are exclusionary in effect. The play of these discursive practices is situated through the analysis of their deployment in: 1) recent government policy reports, 2) controversy over faculty appointments, 3) an ‘international’ conference on graduate studies, and 4) and inter/ national survey of research in adult education.
