About the seminar
In this seminar I will present and discuss how professional knowing and learning can be explored and contextualized as situated phenomena, yet nourished and regulated through their connections with wider professional practices and arrangements. I will draw upon work I have conducted with colleagues at the University of Oslo over several projects, and discuss how some different theoretical notions and concepts provide opportunities and limitations for connecting professional practices with their wider field of knowledge.
The following articles may serve as backdrop reading, while the presentation will include examples from more recent work.
