Kester Muller, Development Education Research Centre
Literature on Development Education and Global Learning (DEGL) has questioned the extent to which practice is informed by theory. But there has been little research on DEGL and the theory-practice relationship from the view of practitioners.
Dr Andrea Bullivant will discuss how insights from literature on embodied and knowing practice challenge assumptions about a theory-practice divide and can support Development Education Centres to realise their potential as a community of practice.
The webinar will be of interest to practitioners, as well as researchers, students and other actors in the field of DEGL with an interest in theory or practice.
