Abstract
This chapter presents a reflective discussion of ideas related to ‘partnership’ at the tertiary level. We examine the nature and enactment of successful crossdisciplinary partnerships in two Ministry of Education funded research projects involving university-based education researchers and lecturer-practitioners from a number of other disciplines. Ideas about the structure, issues and rewards of research partnerships will be explored.
