Review of book entitled "Ageing with Smartphones in Ireland: when life becomes craft" by Pauline Garvey and Daniel Miller
"This is the best ethnographic monograph on the changing dimensions of Irish society that has been written by anthropologists in the last twenty years. It should serve as a model of engaged, responsive, respectful, and beneficent ethnography, not just for scholars of and in Ireland, but also for a global anthropology that seeks a better public role. Its explicit comparative framework, interlaced with remarkably empathetic appreciation of the project’s participants’ everyday and daily lives, reminds us that anthropologists can contribute often and well to the social sciences and the humanities."

22nd of September Blog - Lifelong Learning and the Older Learner (and Teacher)
In memory of our dear colleague, the late Anne Roundtree. The current understanding of Lifelong Learning has become conflated with work related skills and employment opportunities. It’s part of a wider ‘education to service the economy’ discourse. This way of thinking fails to take into account adult students at all life stages who return to learning for any number of reasons that have nothing to do with employability or future skills.
