Awaiting the moment that I can spend sufficient time to compile all my thoughts and insights as Academic Director of the Partnerships Resource Centre over the last ten years in an integrated book (☺), I have written a number of fundamental contributions to the discourse. Often in collaboration with others, often with my master students, not always resulting in published papers. So I include on my website a number of these contribution to make them available to a wider audience. They constitute a set of complementary contributions to a number of discourses. You can click them and get access to the papers.
