ABSTRACT

We work in places; we live in places; we learn in places. Everything that we do happens in a physical place of some kind. We may meet and interact virtually but we are still bound, bodily and physically, to places. And yet place, that physical context within which HRD, and everything else, happens is taken for granted and rarely discussed. In this chapter, we introduce the idea of ‘place’ and how it might inform, and add a different critical perspective to HRD practice.
