This book brings together a collection of multi-disciplinary voices to discuss, debate, and devise a series of ahuman pedagogical proposals that aim to address the challenging ecological, political, social, economic, and aesthetic milieu within which education is situated today. Attending to contemporary calls to decenter all-too-human educational research and practice, while also coming to terms with the limits and inheritances through which such calls are made possible in the first place, this book aims to interrogate, but also invent, what we are calling an ahuman pedagogy. Organized in three main sections Conjuring an Ahuman Pedagogy, Machinic Re/distributions, and Non-pedagogies for Unthought Futures this multi-disciplinary experiment in ahuman pedagogies for the age of the Anthropocene offers an experimental albeit always speculative and incomplete series of pedagogical proposals that work to unthink and counter-actualize educational futures-as-usual.
Jessie L. Beier is a teacher, artist, writer, and conjurer of weird pedagogies for unthought futures.
jan jagodzinski is Professor of Visual Art and Media Education at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
