Jocey Quinn is Professor at the Institute for Policy Studies in Education, London Metropolitan University.
'Over the course of a hundred and fifty pages, the author has
crafted a piece that combines theory development with the voices of
research informants, educationalists, sociologists, philosophers,
poets and authors of modern literature. This is a readable
book.'--Sanford Lakoff
'In this important new book Jocey Quinn sets out her innovative
work on imagined social capital in ways which bring alive the some
200 diverse learners who formed part of her data rich research.
Through her powerful and stimulating analysis of (imagined) social
capital she invites us to re-imagine educational spaces, terrains
and communities, to discover the fluidity of 'belonging'. This book
is a timely intervention in debates about social capital and
learning communities, arguing for new ways of belonging through
resistance.' Sue Jackson, Professor of Lifelong Learning and
Gender, Pro-Vice-Master for Learning and Teaching and Director of
the Birkbeck Institute for Lifelong Learning, Birkbeck, University
of London, UK
'Professor Quinn brings the spirit of pleasure to an intellectually
expansive analysis of belonging and the material needs of the
learner. In so doing, this study takes us well beyond the common
place in considering the impact of lifelong learning.' Christina
Hughes, Professor of Women and Gender and Chairperson in the
Department of Sociology, University of Warwick, UK
