Dear all,
Sorry for any cross postings to the Practitioner-Researcher, Collaborative Action Research Network, (CARN), Action Research Network of the Americas (ARNA) and Action Research Africa Network (ARAN) e-lists.
POSTINGS AND THE COMMUNITY SPACE FOR ACTION RESEARCHERS IN THE EDUCATIONAL JOURNAL OF LIVING THEORIES (EJOLTS).
Liz Woolvaadt has just posted her paper on ‘Looking over the conceptual horizon: a living theory of practice.’ This paper explores the conceptualisation and implementation of public health in a medical curriculum in South Africa. Liz is a Senior Lecturer and Head of Health Policy and Management School of Health Systems and Public Health, at the
University of Pretoria. I think that all members of the Action Research Africa Network will be interested in Liz's research and writings.
Jan Johnston and Jan Vickers Manzin have posted their paper from Ontario on ‘Our Living Educational Theory of Knowledge Translation: Improving Practice, Influencing Learners, and Contributing to the Professional Knowledge Base of Nursing.’
