Frank will explore and define learning and address the provocative question of whether we need theory to underpin our practice in conversation with Professor Jim Gallacher from Glasgow Caledonian's Centre for Research in Lifelong Learning. In the afternoon he will hold a research surgery for delegates, who are invited to share their research insights or to bring their research challenges and proposals for Frank and the collective brain to work on.
