Educational posthumanism at the limits of modern humanism: Logos, pathos, and the circulation between humanism and posthumanism
This collective essay, contributed to a special issue on East Asian engagements with philosophy of education, situates educational posthumanism where modern humanism meets its limits. Modern educational and social institutions have been constructed on logos—reason, technical rationality, predictability, calculability, and controllability—to secure safe and stable human lives. Through shared norms, rational procedures, and standardized judgment, t…
Hijacking the Digital Backlash in Education
This paper is a continuation of a panel discussion ‘The Digital Backlash in Education: Critical and Postdigital Perspectives’ Footnote 1 where Sarah Hayes, Petar Jandrić, Felicitas Macgilchrist, and Neil Selwyn reflected on the current political pushback against digital technologies in schools. The panel was moderated by Ingrid Forsler and Saga Hansén, who also initiated this conversation to follow up on some of the themes raised in the discussio…

Postdigital War and Peace
This article develops initial contours of postdigital peace and conflict by situating contemporary warfare and peacebuilding processes within the messy human–technological–natural entanglements that characterise the postdigital condition. It discusses how AI‐driven militarism, datafication, and the deep entwinement of Big Tech with the global military‐industrial complex reconfigure the ontology of conflict, redistribute agency, and intensify thre…

Knowledge and Writing: Tinkering with the Scholarly Article
Academic publishing is dominated by the traditional scholarly article of a more or less standardized structure and length. As the forms in which knowledge is expressed also shape what is possible to say and think, such a mainstreamed publication landscape risks limiting the kinds of knowledge that are seen as legitimate. In response, there is an ambition to broaden the formats of scholarly knowledge dissemination, not least within postdigital res…
EdTech and the Environment: A Research Program
The global EdTech market, valued at nearly USD 250 billion, generates not only revenue but substantial ecological and planetary costs that the EdTech scholarly community has insufficiently examined. This article argues that those working in and around EdTech bear a moral responsibility to move beyond (non)performative engagement with sustainable development goals toward serious, structural inquiry into the environmental impacts of EdTech. Drawing…

Postdigital Resonance
As the boundaries between the digital and the analog become increasingly blurred, our experiences are pluralized and datafied in a web of constant connectivity. This web fundamentally transforms our perception of the world, altering ‘our relationship to time and space, to other people, to the objects around us, and ultimately to ourselves, to our body and our mental dispositions’ (Rosa 2019 : 1). Hartmut Rosa ( 2019 : 39–40) presents three ways o…

Postdigital Peer Review: A Vulnerable Space Between Freedom and Responsibility
While academic peer review is the cornerstone of scholarly publishing, it presents significant challenges for early-career researchers. This collective paper describes an authentic peer review experience within a doctoral seminar. In collaboration with Postdigital Science and Education , students acted as peer reviewers for manuscripts under consideration, wrote individual reflections on the process, and engaged in group discussions to analyze th…
Critical GenAI Literacy: Postdigital Configurations
Critical Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) literacy cannot be reduced to a universal framework. Rather, it must be understood as a constellation of situated literacies, shaped by disciplinary perspectives, socio-political contexts, and technological affordances. This multi-authored article explores the emerging concept of critical GenAI literacy and its postdigital configurations. Fourteen authors contributed with different sections, fol…
Speculative Practicescapes of Learning Design and Dreaming
This article addresses a serious issue that besets learning design: its over-reliance on frameworks that promise particular outcomes for individual learners that accord with pre-defined metrics. This is partly a function of the nature of learning design and development itself which is commonly seen as outcome-oriented activity that should benefit individual learners in specific ways. An alternative approach is adopted here which calls attention t…
‘Citizen Scientists’ on Citizen Science
Citizen science, also known as participatory or community science, involves the participation of non-professionally trained individuals in scientific research. This article, part of a series of articles aiming to map and theorise the postdigital dimensions of citizen science, presents diverse narratives from individuals actively engaged in citizen science endeavors. The authors were invited to share their experiences, motivations, challenges, and…
What is (Postdigital) Education? A Debate between Norm Friesen and Petar Jandrić
Norm Friesen is a Professor in Educational Technologies at the Department for Educational Leadership, Research, and Technology, College of Education, Boise State University. Friesen’s work spans a number of areas related to education and technology such as media theory, alternative pedagogies, technical e-learning standardization, phenomenology and the importance of pedagogical tact
Postdigital Citizen Science: Mapping the Field
This paper provides a brief overview of citizen science, attending to its tensions and possibilities. We acknowledge the creative potential of citizen science for expanding and diversifying public participation in knowledge production and dissemination, and we also draw attention to its contradictions. We point to emerging postdigital tensions as new technologies and vast public databases are increasingly becoming cornerstones of citizen science.…
Postdigital Citizen Science and Humanities: Dialogue from the Ground
Whilst much global research takes place in universities, many researchers in the sciences and humanities do not work within these institutions. Some citizen researchers run their own companies or provide independent consultancy, having left their roles in universities through a conflict of values, where they experienced hostile, hierarchical, or restrictive practices. In a world where many postdigital and biodigital challenges do not sit neatly u…

Consuming or consumed? Postdigital McDonaldization for human sustainability
A concept which took Max Weber's classic theory of the rationalisation of the West and adapted it in 1993 to fast-food restaurants seems an unlikely contender to be informing us on human and global sustainability three decades later. Yet in a postdigital society, Ritzer's primary components of McDonaldization may hold more relevance than ever. In our tribute to George Ritzer, we notice how McDonaldization sheds light on how human beings now inter…

Reimagining the new pedagogical possibilities for universities post-Covid-19: An Epat Collective Project
Our minds are still racing back and forth, longing for a return to ‘normality’, trying to stitch our future to our past and refusing to acknowledge the rupture. But the rupture exists. And in the midst of this terrible despair, it offers us a chance to rethink the doomsday machine we have built for ourselves. Nothing could be worse than a return to normality. Historically, pandemics have forced humans to break with the past and imagine their worl…

The curious promise of educationalising technological unemployment: What can places of learning really do about the future of work
University education is full of promise. Indeed universities have the capacity to create and shape, through staff and students, all kinds of enthralling ‘worlds’ and ‘new possibilities of life’. Yet students are encouraged increasingly to view universities as simply a means to an end, where neoliberal education delivers flexible skills to directly serve a certain type of capitalism. Additionally, the universal challenge of technological unemploym…

Viral modernity? Epidemics, infodemics, and the ‘bioinformational’ paradigm
Viral modernity is a concept based upon the nature of viruses, the ancient and critical role they play in evolution and culture, and the basic application to understanding the role of information and forms of bioinformation in the social world. The concept draws a close association between viral biology on the one hand, and information science on the other – it is an illustration and prime example of bioinformationalism that brings together two o…

Postdigital cross border reflections on critical utopia
Critical pedagogy is in crisis. To address this crisis, this paper reinvents Paulo Freire’s concept of utopia in and for our age of the Anthropocene. Understood as a system, postdigital critical utopia provides us with normative foundations and returns agency from invisible data and algorithms to human beings. Understood as a process, postdigital critical utopia unmasks the myth of neutrality and adds an important element of myth, religion, ritua…
Peer production and collective intelligence as the basis for the public digital university
This paper reviews two main historical approaches to creativity: the Romanticist approach, based on the culture of the irrational, and the Enlightenment approach, based on the culture of the objective. It defends a paradigm of creativity as a sum of rich semiotic systems that form the basis of distributed knowledge and learning, reviews historical ideas of the university, and identifies two conflicting mainstream models in regards to understandin…
Deschooling Virtuality
This article explores contemporary potentials for Illich's 1971 proposal to replace institutional schooling with non-institutional large-scale educational infrastructure, and shows that his visions of deschooling through technology could be embodied on the internet in the form of deschooling virtuality. This conclusion is methodologically restricted in three ways. First, the concept of deschooling heavily depends on one's views to human nature. S…

Will robots take your job
Human nature finds the threat of robots taking our jobs strikes deeply disturbing. As a young scholar, I enjoyed reading stories about the mythical Ned Ludd; I have a neighbour, who is seriously concerned that a dishwasher somehow makes her housework redundant. However, the prospect is also very much of the moment: we are being flooded by literature ranging from disaster Luddite scenarios to blind techno-optimism. Admittedly, I am guilty for addi…

In The Onlife Manifesto: Being Human in a Hyperconnected Era Luciano Floridi and his associates examine various aspects of the contemporary meaning of humanity.

Nine months ago, on 31 December 2019, the World Health Organization (2020) reported the first official case of 'pneumonia of unknown cause' in Wuhan. As the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) embarked on its journey around the world, it took less than 80 days to wreak global havoc. Already in March, daily news reports were bursting with numbers of infected and deceased, and social networks were overflowing with conspirac…
