Working Relationally In and Across Practices

Three core ideas are at the heart of this book: relational expertise the capacity to interpret problems with others; common knowledge which consists of knowing what matters for professionals in other practices; and relational agency which involves using that common knowledge to take action with others. These ideas are based in cultural-historical approaches to learning and change and give coherence to the arguments presented. This is not a recipe book; the ideas are offered as resources for reflecting on and developing professional and research practices and the conditions in which they occur.
