Abstract

This issue publishes the initial set of refereed papers from the first wave proceedings of the 3rd International Pedagogies and Learning conference, held at the Springfield campus of the University of Southern Queensland in Australia on 27 and 28 September 2007. The first conference in the series (1 to 4 October 2003) explored the theme “New Meanings for a New Millennium”, while the second conference (18 to 20 September 2005) engaged with the proposition of “Meanings under the Microscope”. This third conference took up this focus and shifted attention to “Meanings Emerging in Practice”.
