Post-foundational approaches to comparative and international education blog
We are pleased to announce the opening of the reading and writing groups for the 2019-2020 academic year. Given the questions, possibilities, and puzzles the theme raises, we are opening a space for scholars in a variety of settings to read and reflect together, but asynchronously. The theme of the Reading Group this year will match the CIES 2020 conference theme 'Education Beyond the Human.' Each month, members will discuss a selected text (no more than 30 pages) to collectively explore different aspects of the theme 'Education Beyond the Human.' We imagine potential topics to include alternative ontoepistemologies, posthumanism, multi-species relations, artificial intelligence, etc., but members are also invited to take over proposing topics, readings, and leading discussions in future months. Our dialogue will mostly take place through blog posts and comments on our this PfA blog platform, with the option to organize virtual meetings if members are interested. If you wish to participate in the Reading Group and/or Writing Group, we encourage you to sign up on this Google form by Friday, September 27th. Please also feel free to write on the form your expectations and preferences for the Reading Group and/or Writing Group. We look forward to beginning our scholarly engagement in October. If you have any questions or suggestions, please direct them to Hang M. Le ([email protected]). Stay tuned for news from Hang about October's theme. She has suggested Tsing, A. (2015). ‘Prologue: Autumn Aroma’ and ‘Arts of Noticing.’ In The mushroom at the end of the world: On the possibility of life in capitalist ruins (pp. 1-26). Have you read this work? What are you curious about? What questions does it inspire for you in terms of thinking about you and others may take education beyond the human? In the meantime, we look forward to hearing your thoughts on this Google form

AuthorThe SIG was founded in 2014 to open and foster new areas of inquiry within the field of CIE. In this blog, we aim to convene the curious who want to (and are) challenging and transcending limitations inherent in the field's traditional "foundations" (Western ideas of modernity, society, and development). We can open new conversations in the study of education and schooling globally, going beyond the brick and mortar CIES venue. Less about the topics themselves, this blog features exploration and exchange that allows us to stretch the conventional means by which education has been studied (e.g. disciplinary bodies, regional divisions, cross-national comparison). We are weaving in some of those ongoing conversations from PfA perspectives, with the hope that you, our readers/writers, will pick up threads and (re)conceptualize, (re)theorize, and (re)frame together.
