ABSTRACT
The Learning in and for Interagency Working (LIW) study was funded in Phase III of the Teaching and Learning Research Programme (TLRP). TLRP is under the remit of the UK Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). Therefore, as well as enhancing understandings of twenty-first century society, studies have a responsibility for developing social science. The LIW study has reflected both the societal and the social science concerns of the ESRC. We have so far largely discussed the former. In this chapter we turn to the latter and the contribution we think that the project might have made to the ‘work in progress’ that is Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT).
