Opis

Providing a range of theoretical and innovative methodological examples, this book illuminates how new material feminism can be used in education to open up new avenues of research design and practice. It poses questions about the nature of knowledge production, the role of the researcher, and the critical endeavour arising from inter- and post-disciplinarity. Essential for those intrigued by what new theoretical accounts of materiality, posthumanism, and affect can offer educational research, the book invites readers to engage with long-standing feminist concerns about power and knowledge production in research processes. This book was published as a special issue of Gender and Education.
