Dr. Larry G. Martin

This online forum is moderated by Dr. Larry G. Martin. Dr. Martin is Professor Emeritus of Adult and Continuing Education Leadership at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM). As a faculty member for over 36 years, he routinely taught graduate courses on program planning in adult education, administration of adult education programs, evaluation of adult education programs, and others. 

A 2015 inductee into the International Adult and Continuing Education Hall of Fame, he has published and co-published eight edited books, numerous articles, and book chapters. For example, he co-edited an international compendium (Vols. 1–4) with Alan B. Knox and Simone C. O Conceição, entitled Mapping the Field of Adult and Continuing Education: An International Compendium. The purpose of this Compendium was to produce and encourage the use of a major reference work based on mapping the knowledge base of the adult and continuing education field. More recent publications include Black Men and the Digital Divide (2016) with Simone C. O Conceição and Politics, Policies, and a Human Rights Agenda for Racialized Minorities: The Role of Adult Education (2021) with Danielle Apugo. 

Dr. Martin's interest in the vast potential of Web 3.0 innovations for teaching and learning has led him to actively develop scripts and produce 18 podcast episodes on innovative digital technology, adult learning, and education via the Adult Learning Exchange Virtual Community Podcast. He earned a Ph.D. at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
