The chapters in this book contribute to a new understanding of workplace learning. Using a socio-cultural approach, the editors and authors explore the idea of context as a pivotal influence on learning through its entwinement within everyday activity in, at and through work. This positioning is inclusive of the societal, cultural, historical, economic, political and situational factors that mediate learning. It is necessarily a complex picture as it explores the shifting agency and identity of individuals and groups as their biographies and dispositions variously enable them to make sense of and engage in meaningful work.
