Books in the Adult Learning in Professional, Organizational, and Community Settings series

Presents the strengths and gifts of the scholar-contributors and the opportunity to ""turn the stories"" through accessible and meaningful reflective ""telling"". The collection concludes with a discussion of salient implications for working-class students and scholars, those who support their learning, and higher education institutions and programs.

Introduces professional learners (students, residents, and others in professional training) to transformative learning for building resilient professional identities amid practice environments that include widespread burnout and compassion fatigue.

For at least the last 100 years, more than 40% of all students who enrolled in American colleges and universities have not persisted to graduation at four-year institutions. Their stories are varied, but in every case, something got in the way. This book highlights the stories of those who successfully returned to what was left unfinished.
