What is it about?

We analysed how situated learning influences energy policies. Situated learning: Each group (doctors, AA, teachers) has their own special language and a way of thinking that they have learned when they become a part of the group. We analysed situated learning of policymakers and how words and ideas are used to choose who can be part of policymakers and who are excluded from them. In other words, those who try to change policies are easily excluded from policymaking.
