To help us prepare a high-quality workshop please register via this survey by May 3rd, 2021.

The workshop aims to contribute to a fuller understanding of how post-humanist approaches to learning can contribute to the methodological understanding of learning in theLearning Sciences community. Specifically, the workshop is structured to address three key topics: 1) to bring together emergent posthumanist methodological advances, 2) to consider a set of approaches that are aligned with posthumanist perspectives, and 3) to think about what the utility of these new approaches may be for the study of learning. Participants will engage in small group work and a collective data workshop session, highlighting the work of experienced “guest star” participants. Together the discussions of the workshop are intended to extend conversations of the pre-conference workshop “Posthumanist Perspectives on Learning” that took place at CSCL 2019 (see Peppler et al., 2019) and to generate next steps for anchoring posthumanist perspectives within the study of learning.

Learning sciences and CSCL researchers interested in post-human scholarship at any level of their career. We will seek to involve researchers interested in advancing post-humanist views learning, engaging in design-based research, and/or investigating application of posthumanism in the learning sciences. We intend to welcome international participation and for the event to be suitable for graduate students as well as university faculty.
