Reflective practice: where now?

Reflective practice was originally conceived as a radical critique of technical rationality, and was based on the premise that knowledge generated by practitioners reflecting on their own experiences is of at least equal value to knowledge derived by ac ademics from empirical research. However, experiential knowledge from reflection-on-action now finds itself at the bottom of the hierarchy of e...

Ecolab: Where to Now?

By adding the concept of random embryology with locality to Lotka-Volterra population equations, a description of biological evolution is created. This model is called Ecolab. Computer simulations of these systems display self organised criticality, with power law behaviour for species lifetimes that stand in stark contrast to gradualism. This paper explores areas of future research with this m...
