As part of the School of Education Research Seminar Series, Carolyn Cooke presents examples from her teaching and a research exploring how posthumanism has begun to influence her research and practice within ITE.
The notion of diffraction, as different from reflection, where sound, light and / or water waves meet, combine, share, and spread as they encounter obstacles, or changes in their paths is of particular interest to Carolyn. She will exploring this phenomenon (as explored by Karen Barad and Donna Haraway), and share some thoughts about how posthumanism has itself led to a diffraction of her views and practices, not always consistently, and often creating dissonances which she will share along the way.
Using ‘real-life’ exemplars, the seminar will explore how some of the key posthumanist shifts (from knowledge to meaning, human dominance to an object ontological levelling and representationalism to performativity) have intra-acted within Carolyn’s teaching in Initial Teacher Education (Primary and Music), and influenced her view of research, data, and research relationships.
