Drawing on their professional biographies as practitioners, students will be asked to articulate a professional issue and locate this within scholarship of professional practice, drawing on approaches to theorising practice, such as, for example, sociological (for example, Bourdieu, Giddens), sociocultural (for example, Cultural Historical Activity Theory), social (for example, Schatzki) and discourse-based (for example, Foucauldian) theories of practice. Based on this analysis, students will be able to reframe their particular issue(s) in the form of a potentially researchable question. Feedback will provided in written format. |
