ABSTRACT
The title of this chapter is to be understood in two ways. First, there is a new generation of expertise around, not based on supreme and supposedly stable individual knowledge and ability but on the capacity of working communities to cross boundaries, negotiate and improvise ‘knots’ of collaboration in meeting constantly changing challenges and reshaping their own activities. Second, this new type of collaborative and transformative expertise needs to be generated in a new way; it requires serious rethinking of what we mean by learning. The chapter lays out the argument for these two claims in the form of seven theses and a conclusion.
