Dr. Jurow studies learning by examining people’s everyday practices as they grapple with and solve meaningful problems. The focus of her research has been on the organization of what she calls “consequential learning” in situated social action. By consequential learning, she means changing forms of participation that allow people to be recognized as competent participants in valued and dynamic networks of practice.
