In this episode we explore James’ practice-based learning with Rob asking questions to get to the nub of what that practice is. We focus on artful approaches to practice, in terms of both what we do and how we think about what we do. In this sense it is a live exploration that just ‘happened’ with all its hesitations and stuttering that occurs between two people where new knowledge emerges. This is in contrast to post-hoc rationalisation of knowledge that seems clear cut. Here are some of the ideas and theories we are drawn to in this conversation.
