Global Reconstructions of Vocational Education and Training
James Avis is Professor of Post-Compulsory Education and Training at the University of Huddersfield, UK. He has written extensively on the policy contextualisation of Further Education and has a keen interest in its political economy. Recent books include Education, Policy and Social Justice and Teaching in Lifelong Learning.
This collection examines the shifting and often messy conceptualisations of Vocational education and training (VET), raising important questions about its relationship to the economy as well as its global setting. This book was originally published as a special issue of Globalisation, Societies and Education.
