This literature review engages mental illness in adult education ( AE ) to locate what research exists and to suggest a research agenda moving forward. This structured review located research related to mental health issues published in the conference proceedings of the Canadian Association for the Study of Adult Education ( CASAE ) and the Adult Education Research Conference ( AERC ) and fourteen international AE journals. AE scholarship focused on identity construction, andragogy and classroom issues, public pedagogy, popular education and arts‐based education, contesting psychiatric knowledge and sanism, and workplace.
