Reconceptualizing Learning With New Qualitative Methods in the Posthuman Turn

Mon, April 12, 2:50 to 4:20pm EDT (2:50 to 4:20pm EDT), SIG Sessions, SIG-Qualitative Research Paper and Symposium Sessions

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Recently, a number of education fields have embraced a posthuman theoretical lens within their work (see Peppler et al, 2020), suggesting an increased interest in theorizing educational phenomena through empirical investigations. This turn toward posthumanist perspectives is shifting educational research in radically new directions. With this increased interest, however, comes an implicit call to critically investigate this approach to scholarship including reimagining methods and highlighting indigenous methodologies. Within this symposium, we present five distinct papers that engage this call from multiple angles including analysis methods focused on sound, unfolding entanglements, interview data, and justice-oriented projects. Together, these works not only provide new insights into educational posthumanisms but produce a set of provocations for posthuman and aligned research moving forward.
