  8. Application of learningto home discipline • context • perspective • underlying assumptions • meaning • language, ideology and rhetoric

  9. Some ways forward • awareness of whole field – it can be seen as a system – interdependence – synergy – whole greater than the sum of its parts • need for multidisciplinarity and dialogue between perspectives (see www.careerstudies.net) • need to develop our critical thinking further (use Lancaster model?), and so increase rigour at all levels, develop relevant new theories, methodologies, and practices • need to develop effective relationships between theorists, researchers, practitioners, policy-makers (eg encourage practitioners to engage in small-scale research)
