Practice makes practice
Graphic Designers today must operate independently of specific tools and media. Modes of production are democratized, and so it is in the ways we choose to operate within these modes that define the value of the field. Practice Makes Practice is a response to this condition, refocusing attention from the products of design as endpoints of process to visual evidence of persistent questioning by the designer. Through my work I question roles and media, enfolding audience, client, and collaborators into my process. My practice is improvisational, quick, and performative in its response to the specifics of site and circumstance. Through constructing temporary conditions for design, I reformat the everyday and produce in real-time. My thesis traces a trajectory of work demonstrating consistent methods over a wide range of academic and applied projects. I work intuitively to couple learning and making, and through continuous production enact a practice that persists at any scale.

The Practice of Theory, the Theory of Practice
In: Critical review: an interdisciplinary journal of politics and society, Band 5, Heft 2, S. 179-202
ISSN: 0891-3811
The practice of theory is defended against the recent antitheory movement which questions the relevance of theory itself. Taking hermeneutical theory as a model, an attempt is made to show how a properly postmodern conception of the role & function of theory eludes the criticisms of various antitheorists. In formulating a new way of envisaging the relation between theory & practice, the theoretical enterprise is not only supported, but its importance for the discursive practices of the human sciences & for sociopolitical praxis is demonstrated. Adapted from the source document.
Parsing the Practice Turn: Practice, Practical Knowledge, Practices
In: Millennium: journal of international studies, Band 44, Heft 2, S. 175-196
ISSN: 1477-9021
A substantial body of literature centers on the concept of 'practice'. This article parses the practice turn in International Relations. It suggests that the meaning of 'practice' is a moving target. Sometimes it means process. Sometimes it refers to a particular type of knowledge and related action. And sometimes it is used as a quasi-synonym for institution. There are actually three concepts animating the practice turn: 'practice', 'practical knowledge', and 'practices'. These concepts hail from different intellectual pastures and lead to different ways of explaining and understanding international relations. The article introduces the three concepts, explains how each concept entails a particular interpretation of the nature and possibility of change, as well as affords a particular theory of peace(making).

Modelling Practices and Practices of Modelling
In: Historical Social Research, Supplement, Heft 31, S. 147-153
Modelling represents a core method of investigation in the sciences. Relying on a number of case studies, I want to explore the main concepts that denote the practice of modeling in pure and applied sciences. I argue that these concepts could be seen as metaphors to reflect upon when exploring how the practices of modeling are characterised across different disciplines.

Evidence for the use of creative practices such as poetry, storytelling, or biographical writing to support recovery or promote personal development is long established and is growing, and demonstrates an incredible power and potential. Amidst this setting, and with the support of TS Eliot Foundation, The Old Possum's Practical Trust, and the University of Chester, this guidance was developed to support practitioners in delivering effective and safe practice.

Cultivating Communities of Practice: From Institutions to Practices
In: Global studies quarterly: GSQ, Band 4, Heft 1
ISSN: 2634-3797
Abstract
Where do communities of practice (CoPs) come from? What relationship do they entertain with institutions within or across which they develop? To what extent can institutions actually create CoPs? These questions are crucial, if only because of the benefits that CoPs are expected to bring, from innovation to learning to shared best practices. This article suggests that the most important relationship is between the CoP and its founding practice, which is ontologically prior to the CoP. The coming into existence of a CoP thus depends on the pre-existence of a founding practice and practical alignments. This argument counterbalances the two prevailing positions in the literature on CoPs, which focus on institutions instead of practices. In most IR literature on the topic, scholars have viewed CoPs as emerging "organically" and informally at the margins of institutions in a bottom-up fashion and from there often coming back to influence institutions bottom-up. Knowledge management scholars and institutional actors themselves have instead embraced a more agential and performative top-down approach by which CoPs can and should be cultivated to foster knowledge creation in business and international institutions alike. The article explores these positions with the help of examples drawn mainly from the European Union's experience, including the Joint Research Centre's attempt to cultivate CoPs from 2016 onwards.
