This book offers critical discussion of developing inclusive theory, practice, and policy that supports the needs and experiences of adult learners within higher education settings in the UK. The first part of the book shares the research of authors, all who have lived experience of their area of expertise, and the experiences and needs of adult learners in relation to religion, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and disability as well as including an intersectional lens. The second section of the book discusses practice and understandings of adults learners in non-conventional higher education settings within the police service, criminal justice, and health care.

These contributions provide new knowledge to better support those from diverse backgrounds to thrive in the higher education environment. This book will be of interest to academics who teach/support adult learners, students of education, as well as practitioners who work outside traditional higher education settings such as community educators and policymakers.
