“Dyskursy Młodych Andragogów/Adult Education Discourses” is a ranked scientific journal published continuously since 2001. The journal is published annually by the University of Zielona Góra, Faculty of Social Science, Institute of Education which finances the publication.

“Dyskursy Młodych Andragogów/Adult Education Discourses” is addressed to representatives of the social sciences and the humanities who conduct studies and research on the broadly understood educational activities of adults (including its formal, non-formal and informal areas) as well as the learning processes and developmental contexts of adults. In “Dyskursy Młodych Andragogów/Adult Education Discourses” we have created an open - intergenerational and intercultural - space for carrying out scientific discussions about adults. Various contexts of these discussions appear in our journal in the form of thematic discourses such as: cultural discourse, biographical discourse, the discourse of higher education, the discourse of diversity in adult education, as well as pfofessionalisation discourse: we are also open to creating new areas for discussion. We invite researchers who are interested in the broadly understood process of education and the development of adults to publish articles within the framework of the proposed discourses. Also, we invite all readers to follow our content in the following volumes of “Dyskursy Młodych Andragogów/Adult Education Discourses”.

We publish articles in both Polish and English. Each submission undergoes an editorial review and after that it is sent to two external reviewers (double blind review). The editorial team does not charge authors for submitting and publishing articles or any editorial works devoted to it. The journal is originally published in the print version (ISSN 2084-2740). Since volume no.02 all articles have been published in Open Access, furthermore, since 2020 all articles have been available under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) open licence. “Dyskursy Młodych Andragogów/Adult Education Discourses” is indexed in the following databases: ERIH PLUS (The European Reference Index for the Humanities and the Social Sciences), CEJSH (The Central European Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities) and EBSCO.
