Professor J.E. (Teddy) Thomas, 1933-2023

Former Dean of the Faculty of Education and Pro-Vice-Chancellor at the university, Professor J.E. (Teddy) Thomas, passed away aged 89 on Tuesday 11 July 2023. A major figure in adult education nationally and internationally, he served as Reader and later Robert Peers Professor of Adult Education at the University of Nottingham, as well as Deputy Head and Head of the Department of Adult Education.

My obituary of Teddy Thomas, former Robert Peers Professor of Adult Education and Pro-Vice-Chancellor at the University of Nottingham, founding co-editor of the International Journal of Lifelong Education, chair of SCUTREA, and much else, has now been published (free to access) at Taylor & Francis Online. I should be grateful if you will bring it to the attention of friends and colleagues.

Best wishes,

John.
