What People are Saying About This
“At the intersections of posthumanisms and social studies unfold important dialogues that attend to ontoepistemological multiplicities—a critical consideration of the many bodies, beings, and imaginations of ‘the social’ that form and inform emergent ways of being, knowing, and doing that are co-constituted therein…. Within these bloomspaces of possibility, this volume addresses how knowledges and beings are de- and re-territorialized through the toppling of monuments, racialization, sacred energies, technologies, the arts, sexualities, and literatures, to name a few. The authors ask readers to consider what it might mean to not only approach social studies from a posthuman lens but what it might mean to teach a posthuman social studies.”—From the Foreword by Boni Wozolek, assistant professor, Penn State Abington
“Bretton A. Varga, Timothy Monreal, and Rebecca C. Christ provide an indispensable guide to posthumanism in social studies education, essential reading for anyone interested in posthuman framings/orientations in this field. The chapters not only show what ‘posthuman social studies’ means, but also how embracing posthumanism can help social studies educators and researchers enact a more just vision and praxis for humans, nonhumans, and more-than-humans in the world.”—Michalinos Zembylas, professor, Open University of Cyprus
“Varga, Monreal, and Christ curate a lively collection of chapters and short provocations that beg us to consider the ‘social’ of social studies in our more-than-human world. The authors illustrate that while all bodies co-create realities, truths, knowledges, and relationalities, not all bodies are one and the same in this powered world. The book is full of poignant, timely narratives crafted to demonstrate how the past, present, and future are all entangled. The result: each reader must consider how pedagogies matter in the becoming of our strange world.”—Candace R. Kuby, professor, University of Missouri
