    Professionalising Community Work and its implications for Radical Community Education.


    Fitzsimons, Camilla (2010) Professionalising Community Work and its implications for Radical Community Education. The Adult Learner. pp. 53-71. ISSN 0790-8040

    Abstract

    This article adopts a radical lens and examines the relationship between community development, adult education and professionalism. It draws from research on one specific community- university partnership and presents the professionalisation of community work as detrimental to radical practice because of its encouragement of individual vertical progression for learners and a favouring of professional practitioner benefits over collective community gain.
