“…Learning, after all, was, and still is, at the heart of adult education. But perhaps, as Künzel (1994) observed, the apparent decline of interest in comparative adult education can also be linked to researchers and scholars having become too sensitised to the Comparative adult education scholars, however, were not alone in being vexed about these shifts in academic thinking. The well-documented quantitative, qualitative divide in research methodologies is one such example.…”

It is an area that Peter Jarvis has engaged with and contributed to over many years. Furthermore, many of his publications, authored or edited, address international issues in adult education which provoke comparative reflection. Readers are encouraged to step out of their own world view and environment into less familiar territory or into, what Bhaba (1994) calls, the 'Third Space'. In times of rapidly intensifying globalisation, both in the physical and abstract sense, on the one hand, and the increasing polarisation of ideas and communities on the other, comparative research in education has much to offer. If educational change is to be better understood, or successfully embraced, contexts and specificities matter more than many policy makers and researchers realise. This calls for deeper analyses of the tensions between the global and the local which lie at the heart of context sensitive forms of comparative and international research in education (Crossley and Jarvis, 2001). Here we examine Peter Jarvis's contribution to both his primary field of adult education and to the challenging and thought-provoking area of comparative scholarship.

“…Learning, after all, was, and still is, at the heart of adult education. But perhaps, as Künzel (1994) observed, the apparent decline of interest in comparative adult education can also be linked to researchers and scholars having become too sensitised to the complexities and challenges generated by the changing nature of adult education and approaches to research. With increasing globalisation the field of adult education as an academic study became increasingly difficult to define.…”

“…The history of comparative adult education can be traced back, albeit much more loosely, to the late 19 th and early 20 th century when easier travel and information exchange led to greater cross-cultural transference of thoughts, ideas and practical solutions between countries (Künzel, 1994). Following the First World War the ethos of adult education provided an ideal forum for the spirit of internationalism.…”
