Abstract
James Harvey Robinson became a leader in adult education by virtue of his role as a founder and teacher of the New School for Social Research, as a writer of popular history, and as a contributor to the Journal of Adult Education. Robinson believed that history taught how the present evolved from the past and how people could consciously improve the future. This view of history contained within it a rationale and a content for adult education. Robinson's thought illustrates the social change tradition in adult education and is an example of the intellectual links between adult education and pre-existing disciplines.Keywords
