Call for papers `Recursive Learning'
Learning by individuals, groups, and institutions through reflection on past experiences and practices, both positive and negative, including those of others as well as their own.The workshop invites contributions that examine a range of types of recursive learning in institutional settings. These include the micro-dynamics of learning in families that may continue across generations, shaping health and other practices and that may become taken for granted common knowledge.
