We are delighted to announce the publication of our forthcoming edited volume, to be released on December 20th. This book has been a long time in the making, shaped through years of dialogue, collaboration, classroom practice, and deep professional trust. The editors are not only leading voices in the field but also dear friends, and it has been a genuine privilege to accompany them on this journey as publisher. What makes this volume especially meaningful is the care with which it brings together theory, practice, and lived experience, honouring foundational work while speaking clearly to the realities of contemporary classrooms.
At a time when education is often framed as being in constant crisis or rapid transformation, this book demonstrates the enduring relevance of learner autonomy. Through chapters on inclusion, vocational education, classroom discourse, agile methodologies, and Leni Dam’s own reflections, the volume shows how autonomy continues to offer principled, practical, and humane responses to diversity, uncertainty, and change. Grounded and forward-looking, this is a book that reminds us why the field matters and why it continues to resonate with teachers, researchers, and learners alike. We are immensely proud to publish it.
