This Roundtable discussion on Lave and Wenger's concept: Communities of Practice (COPs) including Contributors from the Faculty of Health, Psychology and Social Care will bring together researchers from RIHSC who are using COPs in their own work, writing and research. Communities of practice is an idea derived from situated cognition, which sees learning and identity as entwined processes. Contributors will talk about ways in which they use Communities of Practice in their theorising and/or practice across psychology, education and healthcare settings.
