ABSTRACT

Hoggart gave the following talk at the 50th Anniversary celebration of the University of Glasgow’s Department of Adult and Continuing Education in 2001.

It is an honour for me to be asked to speak at your 50th celebrations, especially since I know that Glasgow’s Department is one of those which are keeping the flag flying in adult education, of the sort I first knew. I feel a little superior today because it is 55 years this month since I had my first appointment in adult education so I can beat you on that.
