Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Bente Elkjaer holds a chair within learning theory at Danish School of Education, Aarhus University (Campus Emdrup). In her research, she has a special focus upon learning organizations. Bente Elkjaer researches the crossroads between educational and organizational research, and is engaged in how organizations and people can share knowledge through the organizing of work and management, as well as through learning. Bente Elkjaer’s main theoretical source of inspiration is American pragmatism, following the works of the philosopher and educational thinker, John Dewey. She is currently interested in how pragmatism may be understood in light of the ‘practice turn’ in the social sciences. Bente Elkjær has spent a total of one year at two different American universities, the University of California, Berkeley in 1993 and the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana in 1998. This was made possible through first the American Scholarship, the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS)and later a FUHU-Fulbright fellowship.
