Essays explore contexts such as the classroom, community-based continuing education courses, colleges, the workplace, online learning, and conceptual frameworks such as activity theory, genre studies, actor-network theory, complexity theory, and pragmatism. Essays are by education, learning, social sciences, educational technology, and English scholars from the UK and US who participated in a thematic seminar series to follow up on themes arising from individual research projects.
