𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗴 𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘃𝗲: On feminist materialist posthuman theory: How might living theory help us produce knowledge which is more fluid, responsive and attentive? How can we be more response-able to the entanglements and commitments our research entails? #EduSci

How theory matters in feminist posthumanist new materialist research

We suggest that working with theory/ living theory changes not only the way we think, but creates a more capacious, inclusive and affirmative sense of what educational research can be and what education can become.

Banks make $26bn in a decade of financing deforesting companies.

Destruction of the world’s forests reached the highest level - agricultural expansion, mining, infrastructure, logging.

Profits before climate change, human lives and the planet.

The cult of deregulation will make matters worse.

Ancient Woodland doesn’t mean the trees are ancient

It means trees have been there undisturbed for thousands of years, & at least since consistent national records started in the 17th Century

It’s the soil that is ancient

The ghosts of the dying & the dead feeding the living

Ancient woodland floor covered in Autumn leaves, seeds and twigs
