The body matters, in practice. How then might we think about the
body in our work in and on professional practice, learning and
education? What value is there in realising and articulating the
notion of the professional practitioner as crucially embodied?
Beyond that, what of conceiving of the professional practice field
itself as a living corporate body? How is the body implicated in
understanding and researching professional practice, learning and
education? Body/Practice is an extensive volume dedicated to
exploring these and related questions, philosophically and
empirically. It constitutes a rare but much needed reframing of
scholarship relating to professional practice and its relation with
professional learning and professional education more generally. It
takes bodies seriously, developing theoretical frameworks, offering
detailed analyses from empirical studies, and opening up questions
of representation. The book is organized into four parts: I.
'Introducing the Body in Professional Practice, Learning and
Education'; II. 'Thinking with the Body in Professional Practice';
III. 'The Body in Question in Health Professional Education and
Practice'; IV. 'Concluding Reflections'. It brings together
researchers from a range of disciplinary and professional practice
fields, including particular reference to Health and Education.
Across fifteen chapters, the authors explore a broad range of
issues and challenges with regard to corporeality, practice theory
and philosophy, and professional education, providing an
innovative, coherent and richly informed account of what it means
to bring the body back in, with regard to professional education
and beyond.
