Reviews

""Knowledge, Expertise and the Professions is a short volume but it packs a solid wallop. It pushes the social realist barrow, certainly, but it does so with solid arguments, a clearly articulated and defended conceptual framework and some exemplary explicatory analyses... It is a social constructivist take on how we might best go about ensuring tomorrow’s professionals are capable of acquiring and using expertise. It is a really good edited volume; demanding, challenging and deliberate, and one that deserves a wide readership."" - Andrys Onsman, Centre for Studies of Higher Education, University of Melbourne, Australia.
