Designing for Affect and Embodiment: Ethical Attunements in the Futuring of Education

Sun, April 12, 7:45 to 9:15am PDT (7:45 to 9:15am PDT), Westin Bonaventure, Floor: TBD, La Cienega

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This panel positions both the affective and embodied dimensions of learning interactions as “sites of possibility” within educational research. By addressing affect and embodiment together, we expand upon work that explores the role of embodied actions in creating more expansive learning experiences as an essential component of “futuring” for education. We aim to broaden our methodological and theoretical toolkit for designing practices that center the affective and embodied dimensions of teaching and learning. In designing for affective, agentic, embodied freedom, we aim to create moments where teachers and learners can feel a possible future. We believe the felt experience of futuring will energize teachers, learners, and researchers to continue to build towards more just possible futures.
