epp: expertise, pedagogy, and practice
University of Wollongong, Building 32, Room G01. Monday 6 and Tuesday 7 
December 2010. 9:30am – 5pm
The workshop takes as its focus recent work on situated and embodied cognition, 
the concepts of expertise, skill and practice, and contemporary pedagogical 
theory.  This work has made important steps towards overcoming traditional 
intellectualist and individualist models of cognition, group interaction and 
learning, but has in turn generated a number of important questions about the 
shape of a model that emphasizes learning and interaction as situated and 
embodied.
