This e-book features selected papers from ‘Challenges for Integrating Work and Learning’, the 4th International Conference on Researching Work and Learning, held at the University of Technology, Sydney, Australia in December 2005. This conference attracts scholars from many and diverse fields including adult and vocational education, human resource development, labour studies, gender studies, medical and health education, organisational and management studies, sociology of work, and learning theory, among others. The diversity of interests that converges under the rubric of researching work and learning is evident from the papers included in this e-book. The papers included in this e-book illustrate and connect the themes of practices of learning at work; policies that impact on learning at work; partnerships and their influence on learning at work; contexts i.e. the diversity and complexity of workplace learning contexts; innovations in learning at work; and theoretical and ideological development. The papers connect these themes in interesting and complex ways.
