Abstract
The paper discusses the value of imagination in educational debate and makes an
argument for Irish adult educators making space and time to envisage a range of
possible futures for the field beyond the terms offered in current policy. It explores
this topic in relation to neoliberal educational reform and the broader social context.
The second half outlines one possible future- adult education for a participatory
democracy and sketches out some of what this might entail both in principle
and in practice.
