We have the pleasure to welcome two distinguished guests to our next seminar. Please see below topics that will be presented and discussed.

Enhancing learning through work
Stephen Billett, Griffith University, Australia
This seminar discusses understanding how learning through work can be enhanced through consideration of practice curriculum, practice pedagogies and the importance of learners’ personal practices. It includes considerations of practice pedagogies and workers’ personal practices, albeit enacted individually or collectively, can contribute to the development of occupational knowledge, drawn from investigations into a range of industry sectors in advancing its case.

The nursing home as a hub: social inclusion as a key to community health promotion
Charlotte Wegener, Aalborg University, Denmark
This presentation considers ways in which a nursing home can come to serve as a hub for community health promotion. The notions of boundary work and boundary practice is used to illustrate how a nursing home arranges community activities and includes a wide range of participants. In health research, a ‘hub’ refers to a space in which activities and expertise are ‘bound together’ over time. The concept of the hub indicates that health organizations have the power to become centres for health promotion by initiating new collaborations and opening up to initiatives in two-way processes with the local community. The presentation is based on a four-year-long practice-based study of social innovation in elderly care in Norway and Denmark.
