摘要

In research on Clemente programs internationally, the focus has typically fallen on the experiences of students, staff, and supporters in large metropolitan cities. Generally, these have been studies of programs situated in metropolitan pockets of acute intergenerational disadvantage and, being so, are justifiable locations to research, particularly in respect of social justice outcomes. The valuable body of knowledge and expertise built up in this literature on lifelong learning is a strength for advocates and teachers in Clemente education internationally since it emerged in the 1990s. In this chapter, we argue that the research on lifelong learning in Clemente includes regional courses. Research on two regional courses outlined in the chapter brings insights into the impact of regional disadvantage on learning for people entering tertiary education (via the Clemente program) with backgrounds of intergenerational unemployment and poverty. The focus is on the multi-agency Clemente courses in Ballarat and Central Gippsland (from 2015–2018).
