Practice Theory and Education challenges how we think about
'practice', examining what it means across different fields and
sites. It is organised into four themes: discursive practices;
practice, change and organisations; practising subjectivity; and
professional practice, public policy and education. Contributors to
the collection engage and extend practice theory by drawing on the
legacies of diverse social and cultural theorists, including
Bourdieu, de Certeau, Deleuze and Guattari, Dewey, Latour, Marx,
and Vygotsky, and by building on the theoretical trajectories of
contemporary authors such as Karen Barad, Yrjo Engestrom, Andreas
Reckwitz, Theodore Schatzki, Dorothy Smith, and Charles Taylor. The
proximity of ideas from different fields and theoretical traditions
in the book highlight key matters of concern in contemporary
practice thinking, including the historicity of practice; the
nature of change in professional practices; the place of discursive
material in practice; the efficacy of refiguring conventional
understandings of subjectivity and agency; and the capacity for
theories of practice to disrupt conventional understandings of
asymmetries of power and resources. Their juxtaposition also points
to areas of contestation and raises important questions for future
research. Practice Theory and Education will appeal to postgraduate
students, academics and researchers in professional practice and
education, and scholars working with social theory. It will be of
particular interest to those who wish to move beyond the limiting
configurations of practice found in contemporary neoliberal, new
managerialist and narrow representationalist discourses.
