A Qualitative Stance
This book articulates a qualitative stance, drawing inspiration from the Danish psychologist Steinar Kvale's work. The qualitative stance involves a point of departure where the social world is described before theorized, understood before explained, and seen as concrete qualities rather than abstract quantities. It focuses on the cultural, everyday, and situated aspects of human thinking, learning, knowing, acting, and ways of understanding ourselves as persons, while at the same time striving to be scientific. International authorities on qualitative inquiry, education, psychology, and philosophy each develop different aspects of the qualitative stance by engaging with three distinct themes: The first centers around qualitative studies on learning, studied as a social phenomenon of human beings in changing social practices. The second theme is a critique of current educational practices and the postmodern consumer society, arrived at through careful descriptions of subjectivity and contemporary social relations. The third theme is about the development of new ways of thinking about qualitative inquiry.

Opportunities and Challenges of Interprofessional Collaboration and Education
Interprofessional collaboration is essential in meeting today's health challenges, which demand high flexibility and innovation. Many health organizations including the World Health Organization (WHO) demand that interprofessional collaboration should be taught and learned globally. Even so, interprofessional education tools have not yet been widely implemented in the curricula of medical professions (incl. physicians, nurses, pharmacists, physiotherapists, etc.); this training usually takes place separately. Collaboration is necessary in health professions education as it can allow professionals to increase their skills and help them achieve more than they would at an individual level. Collaboration also allows for more open-minded approaches when facing new ways of thinking. When knowledge is shared, healthcare employees are more encouraged to share their own ideas and concerns. These achievements of interprofessionalism within health profession education not only benefit the student and employee, but also optimize patient care and increase patient safety. Productivity can also be increased and therefore, reduce costs overall.

Virtual Space
Containing the edited research papers resulting from an ambitious, cross-disciplinary research project, this volume examines the spatiality of virtual inhabited 3D worlds - virtual reality and cyberspace. (Three other volumes look at Interaction, Staging and Methodology.) It is about the communication spaces emerging at the Internet and supported by special 3D interfaces. It is also about the virtual spaces created by virtual reality hardware (CAVEs, panoramic screens, head mounted display systems etc.) and software. Virtual Space: Spatiality in Virtual Inhabited 3D Worlds is interdisciplinary. It deals with philosophical, psychological, communicational, technological and aesthetic aspects of space. While philosophy raises the question concerning the ontology of space - what is space - psychology deals with our perception of space. Communication theory looks at the way in which space supports communication (i.e. that space is a medium for communication), and finally aesthetic analyses exemplify the use of virtual space in virtual cities, in museums and in art.
