Beyond the Modern: The Ethical Need to Make Matter Matter for Truth in Science Education
Sat, April 15, 11:40am to 1:10pm CDT (11:40am to 1:10pm CDT), Swissôtel Chicago, Floor: Event Centre, 1st Floor, Zurich BSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
In this symposium we explore how new materialisms including feminist materialism, new materialism, neomaterialism, and posthumanism provide inclusive ways of engaging with truth brought to the fore by material and epistemic practices which are interdependent. This symposium provides space to engage with other approaches to truth generation that argue for the entanglement of reality and knowing which provides alternative ethical positioning for producing truths for a world in which culture and nature are entangled. Our responsibility is not to propose an idealized reality from which humans are removed but a vision of truth which imposes a responsibility to take the material world seriously because, if we do not, our empirical accounts will always be inaccurate.
