Learning and Everyday Life: Access, Participation, and Changing Practice, by Jean Lave
Year: 2022
Type: book-review
Abstract: A re ethnographers of apprenticeship, work, or education-particularly those who consider contexts, practices, and relations as crucial to understanding these fields-necessarily less inclined to decontextualizing their own research trajectories and identities as learners?Jean Lave, well-placed to address this question, thinks not.On one level, Learning and Everyday Life cautions against the continued hold of decontextualization practices over our conceptions of learning.On another level, this book gradually turns towards a dialectical approach to and a social practice theory of learning.On yet another level, it returns us to Lave's Apprenticeship in Critical Ethnographic Practice (2011), and its processual account of her journey as ethnographer and scholar.
