This essay is a reflection of our five-year jouney at co-editors of Adult EducationQuarterly. We identify some of our accomplishments and challenges, as well as critique some of our editing practices and role as editors. We also discuss our goal to strengthen AEQ’s position as a premier international research journal in adult education and learning, and how we used AEQ Forum as a venue to introduce important issues. Finally we identify some future trends that may affect our journal and profession.
