The presentation explores conceptualisations of work-based learning, knowledge and practice. It sets the discussion in its socio-economic context, one in which knowledge is seen as the route not only to societal competitiveness but also to wellbeing. Such arguments emphasise the turbulent environment in which work is set as well as the fluidity and rapidity in the transformation of knowledge. Different ways in which knowledge is conceptualised within these debates are examined, arguing that transformation is frequently set on a capitalist terrain rather than being tied to a radical political project.
