Future Possibilities

  • Chapter
Practice-Based Education

Abstract

“Future possibilities” is a subtly ambiguous term (having been suggested for the title of this closing chapter). It could open simply a projection of present developments or it could imply a space for thinking quite imaginatively as to possibilities, almost independently of the present situation; a realism–imaginative axis in short. It could also open the consideration that our concluding conjectures work to endorse contemporary developments or to be critical of them; an endorsement–criticality fault-line, in other words.
