Abstract
The short excerpt of dialogue between the two authors serves to signal the place of conversation in relation to learning. How and what do we come to know through conversations, particularly in the supervision process, and how can the process contribute to deepening an understanding of learning? This chapter comes from the growing recognition of the importance of a starting-with-ourselves stance in relation to study and critique regarding research and professional practice (Van Manen, 1990).
