It arose out of a series of exchanges between members of the North American AERC, theCommission of Professors of the American Association of Adult Continuing Education [AAACE] and theBritish SCUTREA. In 1985, the Commission of Professors [AAACE] was awarded a grant by theW.K.Kellogg Foundation to encourage short-term exchanges between lecturersin Britain and North America with the emphasis on new lecturers who had had less than four years aslecturers.Other funds came from the British Council, SCUTREA and many universities. Over the next two years, twenty-one lecturers were selected and participated in anational conference abroad and visited two or three universities during a fortnight's trip. This groupsolicited the support of SCUTREA, AERC and CASAE to be co-sponsors of an international researchconference based around the eighteenth annual conference of SCUTREA. A further grant from the KelloggFoundation has facilitated international participation in the conference. The TAD represents theculmination of that activity. The conference includes over ninety papers, involving well over a hundred presenters. Asthe papers were submitted and accepted a number of themes began to emerge.It is around these themes that the conference has been organised: Comparative and International Issues Research Frameworks Theory and Practice Teaching and Learning Social Purpose and Policy Issues Cultural Issues Gender Issues Professional Education and Training Many people and organisations have been involved in the preparation for thisconference and we cannot list them all. We thank them and hope the conferencewill continue the international dialogue between adult education researchers.
