"This dazzling volume demonstrates the power of rich diversity among practice theories and theorists. It has started a conversation that will engender a new generation of practice-based studies and reshape the field, as researchers respond to the book’s empirical and theoretical challenges. Essential reading." Professor Emeritus Stephen Kemmis, Charles Sturt University, Australia
