Of Dog and Dice: Affective-Messy Posthuman Narratives Through Creative Pedagogies and Corresponding in the Classroom
No full textDrawing on our work with children in education and with adults in Health and Social Care contexts, this paper presents two vignettes that demonstrate how the authors became “messy” researchers. This “messy” framework offered them the opportunity to view and understand the nuanced mechanisms of teacherly relationships as shared spaces and places of mutual discovery, well-being, and flourishing. In a time when COVID-19 presents challenges to classrooms in terms of touch and social distance measures, re-claiming the body as discourse has never been more relevant to learning and educational settings

Things Matter: A Posthuman Empirical Inquiry into the Actualization of Gender in an Advanced Placement Biology Classroom
No full textThe purpose of this study was to investigate and document the conditions in which gender was actualized in a high school Advanced Placement biology classroom. The authors of this study begin with the assumption that equitable and inclusive science instruction should not reinforce or condition students into thinking about themselves as single beings with fixed identities. Rather, science instruction should support a view that students are changing beings who can become other.
We also draw on scholars of new materialisms to examine how things matter in the actualization of students’ gender. Our study traces how gender followed unpredictable lines of flight and shows what gender could become. Using these theories to explain our findings we offer a new concept for the science classroom, students’ subjectivities-in-motion
