Produktbeschreibung

Practice thinking has emerged as a central concern in social theory and research, evident in a burgeoning literature on practice theory, practice-based approaches to research, and site studies on particular manifestations of practice. This book engages with the notion of 'practice' across four themes - Onto-episto-methodological engagements with practice; Practice and subjectivity; Practice and change within and between organisations; and, Responding to neo-rationalist configurations of practice. Pushing theoretical boundaries, the contributors challenge how we understand practice as an object of inquiry and present comprehensive understandings about learning and practice in the professions.
