Abstract

Guest editorial Guest editorial This special edition of QRJ is reflective of the great breadth of research in the field of further, adult and higher education. In this edition, we bring together work by authors from Australia, Canada and the UK, each exploring a different aspect of research in one of these fields. Apart from the sector in which they are located, the papers for this edition are linked by a concern with relationships, expressed through narratives of different forms. Littlefair et al. draw on the words of actors in the field to demonstrate the importance of values, collegiality and intellectual kinship in the building of external relationships essential to a University’s business model and income generation. In Crimmins et al., seven women-writers-performers-artists-academics, whilst having a very different focus to their paper, demonstrate the importance of their relationships in supporting one another as they use narrative to story, de-story and re-story the experience of their lives. In contrast, Roberts utilises the art of Kendo, or Japanese fencing, in which the opponents “confront each other with decorum, discipline and focus while striving towards a decisive combative outcome” as a means of framing phenomenological inquiry.
