This Study Day explores how we can envision and embed action inquiries into our Higher Education. Constructed around 'workshops', the event draws on/in recent research around the notions of 'quality' in action research, 'prior' experiential and negotiated workplace learning, and 'the prior and the present' in learning/narrative.
