abstract: In these clays of innovation, there are frequently too many fashions which are not subjected to tire rigour of academic scrutiny. Judith Lathlean, a highly respected academic, has subjected one such innovation - that of lecturer/practitioner (LP) - to a longitudinal indepth ethnographic study over three years and she has produced a fascinating insight into evolving roles in an evolving profession.
