DESCRIPTION:Professor Gunter’s lecture will examine what it means for edu
 cational professionals to practice as researching professionals\, and th
 e risks and challenges of undertaking critical approaches for\, within\,
  and about research. She uses a quotation from Alan Bennett’s diaries ab
 out “standing on the pavement” as a metaphor for research and profession
 al practice to explain that undertaking research critically involves: fi
 rst\, standing on the pavement\; second\, studying the pavement\; and th
 ird\, redesigning the pavement. She argues that this is vital because it
  means that researching professionals and professional researchers are a
 ble to see how and why standing\, studying\, and redesigning the pavemen
 t can be characterised as getting in the way of progress. She presents t
 he necessity of productive disruption to ensure that such progress is co
 ncerned with working for and securing social justice.
