Going to the American Educational Research Association conference in Denver to present my expanded theory functions model in one of the “Education for the Professions” sessions there. It’s a huge conference, and I only have about 15 minutes to present, but I was lucky to get accepted, as they receive about 10,000 submissions each year. (Unbelievable, but that’s what the acceptance letter said!)

After all the years of researching these practice theories, and summarizing them into multiple case studies, what it comes down to is basically one slide: my model of the “social life of theories” which has changed dramatically since the much simpler version in my dissertation.

Well, I hope to get some good comments on that slide, at least!
