Publications and Conference Presentations from the Changing Faces Project
A book by Mary Hamilton and Yvonne Hillier based on the findings from the project was published in 2006 by Trentham Books. The book is aimed as a research resource for practitioners and researchers in the field, rather simply a factual history. In addition to the book itself, we continue to publish articles in academic and practitioner-oriented journals. We have produced an archive catalogue listing the documentary material assembled during the project and signposting readers to other libraries and archives relevant to adult basic education. A set of posters presenting our findings can be used in professional training settings.
