Abstract
In this chapter we explore Della’s considerable contribution (over more than three decades) to the discourse of professional practice, through her development of ideas around the notion of appreciating practice. As Della’s work is ongoing and her journey over many years, (as consistent with any other kind of learning), has taken a broad ranging path that does not always have a simple logical flow, this chapter is structured as a collage rather than a chronological parade.
