I have been commissioned by MIT Press as part of their MacArthur Review series to work on a short book. It is due at the end of the year.

I aim to  review the literature that has explicitly addressed learning in the non-formal learning sector – in organised out-of-school provision – in order to develop models of how learning has been observed, described, conceptualised or ‘measured’. The book will offer readers a systematic organisation of the kinds of analysis that we can find explicating the ‘educational‘ value across this sector and explore implications for educational ambitions to  invest in this arena.
