Kevin, I was part of a team that studied classroom discourse in community
colleges all over the country. This was published in W. Norton Grubb Honored but
Invisible: An Inside Look at Teaching in Community Colleges, Routledge 1999.
There's a chapter on literacy practices and another on ways of understanding what
makes a class "good" or "bad" using the lens of "practices." We worked our way
up to the notion of practices through activity theory but didn't talk much about
AH explicitly.
