CRADALL Seminar Glasgow University 2 June 2010 (Re)invention of tradition: adult education in contemporary higher education Professor Maria Slowey Dublin City University

‘All too often the practice and conventions of our own day are influenced by a faulty view of the past’. For example, it is widely assumed that universities have always:  Had rigorous entry requirements  Been governed by an academic elite  With serious, scientific research at the core  That doors were only opened by establishment of welfare state  ‘Yet none of this is true’  Robert Bell and Malcolm Tight (1993) Open Universities: A British Tradition? p12

(2005) 2005 University of Glasgow 2005 ‘ Adult students are neither school Children nor University (undergraduates). Often it is necessary to evolve new techniques to teach subjects in different ways and to move to the hinterland between specialised subjects.’ West of Scotland Joint Committee Annual Report

A University is a place where enquiry is pushed forward and discoveries perfected and verified, and rashness rendered innocuous and error exposed by the collision of mind with mind and knowledge with knowledge
