Call it collaboration, call it co-creation, call
it partnership. At the places where research meets practice,
where theory meets actuality, School of Education faculty, students
and staff are often engaged in purposeful effort. These edges
and intersections are the places where problems are articulated
and 
attacked, where “usable knowledge” (Lindblom
and Cohen, 1979) is made, tested, and sometimes found wanting.
We have a Web of partners, projects, and programs where our research
helps practice.
Sometimes these spaces for collaboration end up being called “conference,” “institute,” “workshop,” “project,” or “study group.” In each case, participants from various contexts and roles engage in “cross-contextual conversation,” attempting to make sense of their different ways of seeing the world. The relationships formed through outreach efforts get messy and spill over…into research, into teaching, into service, and even into friendship.
