He Awa Whiria: Braiding the Knowledge Streams in Research, Policy and Practice

Abstract

The metaphor He Awa Whiria in the title, clearly signals that this is a book about bringing different perspectives together into new, stronger and mutually interconnected wholes. Reflecting on the life work of the lead editor Professor Angus Macfarlane the idea of bringing together, often complex ideas into new coherent wholes has been a hallmark of his stellar career in psychology, education and research.
