7. Posthuman Curriculum Is ‘humanity’ working?

8. Imagining New Futures  Creating critical thinking spaces  Diverse voices  Art and creativity  Dismantling structures  ‘Open’ knowledge and media Utopia?

9. Posthuman Thinking  We are posthuman – mediated by technology  Reviewing assumptions about ‘ perfection ’ and ‘ truth ’  Not denying pain but not operating from a place of pain  Humility about the anthropocene Earth and its inhabitants  Forming rhizomatic/nomadic ‘ assemblages ’ rather than structures  Mapping all the genealogies of ‘new’ thinking

10. Questions…? 1. What would a posthuman teacher education curriculum look like? 2. How do we examine our own position regarding ‘ pain ’ in education and how do we make it affirmative? 3. What are the ‘ties which bind us’ to a particular standpoint on education? 4. What are the ‘ missing slices of the past ’ which our curriculum is lacking? 5. What kind of liberating ‘ assemblages ’ can we create to take our work forward, and how?
