Episode 27 The Practice of Nested Domains (What a bad title!)

But I'm sure you will find the full explanation helpful. You can google "Bronfenbrenner Ecological Model" to see a number of different illustrations, but here is one I really like: Music: A Kind of HOpe by Scott Buckley – www.scottbuckley.com.au /episode/index/show/thepracticeroom/id/25217718
