Participation Procedure

We invite leading and emergent scholars in the learning sciences and CSCL community who are interested in and are working on advancing posthumanist perspectives on learning and their implications for the field. In this workshop, participants will collectively explore how posthumanist approaches can uncover overlooked inequities in education, develop and discuss posthuman methodological approaches, and forge directions for the design of intra-active learning environments. Participants are invited to join as:

1. Presenters who share their own work (in progress): Selected presenters will be key leaders in the learning sciences and CSCL as well as those from other disciplines, including literacy studies, early childhood education, and material culture studies.
2. Commentators who provide feedback to presenters: Commentators will be emerging learning sciences and CSCL scholars, especially graduate students wrestling with materialist and posthuman views on learning, as well as scholars who are skeptical about these approaches.

We aim to bring together a diverse group of scholars whose interests and experiences range across posthumanist contexts, including skeptics. We expect participants to reflect on existing posthumanist threads in the learning sciences and CSCL, which may include their own or other scholars’ work, and to look toward the future to create concerted action steps that strengthen posthumanist perspectives in the field.

In addition to the CSCL workshop registration, to help prepare a high-quality workshop we request all workshop participants to register via our online survey by May 17th, 2019.
