Outline of research activities
The founding of Workers’ Educational Association (WEA) in 1903 is situated in the social development of the working class organisation and is sustained the rich associational culture. In my research, I apply on the focus to the working-class association which was affiliated with WEA and the adult students who came to class. What was contributed to the educational life of the workers? What was the WEA’s purpose in putting forward the educational reconstruction? I will try to explore this.
