Listen "Legitimate peripheral participation: the book and the idea"
Episode Synopsis
Jean Lave and Étienne Wenger, Situated Learning: Legitimate Peripheral Participation, 1991. Note: I'd say this is the least readable of the books I've covered so far, especially if you're allergic to jargon-heavy academic social science. On the plus side, it's only 123 pages (excluding bibliography and index). Étienne Wenger, Communities of Practice: Learning, Meaning, and Identity, 1998"I sure as hell am not going to share my knowledge here for free!"Edwin Hutchins, Cognition in the Wild, 1996CreditsThe episode image is "Apprentice" by Louis Emile Adan (1839-1937), circa 1914, original copyrighted by Braun&Co., N.Y., but copyright not renewed.
