Let Us Laugh Loudly Like Norman
In this short essay, we remember Norman Denzin, the “father of qualitative inquiry,” through performative and autoethnographic registers, modalities that sit within the Denzin-cemented streams of qualitative inquiry. We incorporate a rich array of words from leading scholars in autoethnography, performance, and narrative inquiry on Norman’s influence, leadership, and allyship. Finally, we weave a tapestry from Norman’s impact on us as people and …
Decolonising Dust
This submission argues in favour of re-examining the pedagogical role of the microscopic matter of dust as a creative, lively, rebellious participant in an early childhood centre in Melbourne, Australia. Drawing on posthuman theories of matter and the social construction of creative agency, this essay shows how the most abject of agents in an early learning educational context have nonhuman agency, and that dust interacts collegially with young c…
Schools as inclusive workplaces
This paper draws together academic and policy literature around the value of a culturally, linguistically and racially diverse (CLRD) teacher workforce in Australia. While Australia’s population is becoming more diverse, the teaching population is significantly less so, with far fewer teachers born overseas and/or speaking a language other than English at home. This paper seeks to address some reasons for this lack of diversity, and the lived exp…

Intra‐Asian Creativity in Hong Kong Education and Activism
This essay draws on empirical research from two studies examining creativity, activism, and education in Hong Kong. We use a decolonizing and deimperializing approach to centering creativity as a lever for social change, and demonstrate the ways in which the specifics of culture, region, time, and place uniquely produce forms of creativity, as has long been documented by creativity scholars. We build upon Kuan‐hsing Chen's Asia as Method : Toward…
Australia's policy discourse of culturally and linguistically diverse teachers
Recruitment of more culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) teachers is considered a strategy to address the current national teacher shortage and increasing community diversity in Australia. However, the success of this strategy is cast into uncertainty when considering the historical underrepresentation of CALD school leaders and teachers in Australia. We approach this issue through policy analysis and examine two questions: How are CALD t…
Creative Ecologies in Borderline Personality Disorder Research
This article draws on the power of creative methods to call for a more collaborative, ecological approach to awareness, education, and research analysis of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Drawing on affect theory and empirical research using a co-creation methodology, we advocate for the power of peer-directed support provision for those experiencing BPD. Through recognition and advocacy for this emerging area, the article advances the way…
The Front Edge of an Advancing Wave-Crest
This editorial introduces the 15 articles in this special issue entitled "Creative Ecologies: Designing Sustainable Futures" and contextualizes them against a rapidly expanding field of climate and ecological studies, creative and affect theoretics, and a burgeoning array of creative relational methods and methodologies extending 21st century qualitative inquiry. The collection calls for a deepening of ethical, political, and eco-collaborative co…
Collaborative Creative Engagements as Drivers for Re-imagining Classrooms and Pedagogies
This paper presents a study examining how pre-service teachers understand and experience the limit(s) of classroom creativity in a Canadian higher education class. Participants first completed a modified version of the Harris Creativity Audit to assess their preliminary understandings of creativity policies and practices, as well as perceptions of the value and feasibility of incorporating creativity into their own teaching. The survey results in…
Unsettling Metronormativity
Rehearsing catastrophe
This article considers the related concepts of ‘rehearsal’ [Harney, Stefano, and Fred Moten. 2013. The Undercommons: Fugitive Planning & Black Study. Brooklyn: Minor Compositions] and ‘catastrophe’ [Stengers, Isabelle. 2015. In Catastrophic Times: Resisting the Coming Barbarism. Translated by Andrew Goffey. London: Open Humanities Press] as activism, focussing upon eco-somatic drama processes engaged through In Your Arms (IYA). This participatory…
Intersectionality, interdisciplinarity and mental health in education
Relational Education Design
Relational education design advocates for whole-person exchange between teachers, students, facilitators, and participants. In this essay, we discuss what an emphasis on the relational allows and provide suggestions for its conditions including, space, time, authenticity, trust, dialogic development, and institutional support. The co-authors demonstrate how relational education experiences are highly situational, and conclude by suggesting that a…
Being 'Here'/Being 'THERE' (An Ode to Tami SPRY, Mostly in Her Own Words)
The authors detail the profound impact that Tami Spry has had on their lives and their work, but through her words and embodiments. The essay/performance uses Spry's own words in part to elevate their documentation of her influence
Radical rubrics
This article details how and why we have developed a flexible and responsive process-based rubric exemplar for teaching, learning, and assessing critical and creative thinking. We hope to contribute to global discussions of and efforts toward instrumentalising the challenge of assessing, but not standardising, creativity in compulsory education. Here, we respond to the key ideas of the four interrelated elements in the critical and creative think…
The Starcraft of Intimacy
In this poetic autoethnographic essay, we explore how the object of the caravan is a site and home for the creation of queer subjectivities and relations with the more-than-human world. As a queer object of resistance, the caravan opens us up to both the beautiful and the monstrous in our worlds and ourselves. 1
Trans*Forming Bodies Is Hopeful Politics
The truth-telling in his piece is sin quo non to the unmasking needed to forge pathways to new gendered possibilities in troubled times toward transformative futures. I explore the affective embodied experience of living as a non-binary transmasculine person in a binary world. Drawing on the work of Jack Halberstam, Tami Spry, and Bryant Keith Alexander, this essay (and performance) is shared with/through my testosterone-lowered voice, my masculi…
Non-binary possibilities of creative agency
In this short essay I draw on the works of Maxine Greene, Donna Haraway and Anna Craft to reject traditional dualisms and binaries, in favour of proposing a possibility studies that is driven by an activist creative agency, in which thinking and doing are entangled and activated across multispecies contexts, and across multiple temporalities. I call readers to action in living potentially harder but more fulfilling, interconnected and sustainable…

A creative ecological approach to supporting young people with mental health challenges in schools
Holistic and ecological approaches to mental health support have been identified by many as best-practice approaches for creating and sustaining well-being. Those who experience mental health challenges including, for example, Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), often struggle to find adequate, sustainable and ongoing care from clinical settings, and recent research shows that additional strategies such as peer support programs, arts approache…
Pandemic Puppy
This performative piece considers human-animal relations in pandemic and post(?) pandemic times, in particular the exponential increase in pet adoptions during the COVID-19 lockdowns and the subsequent spectacular rise in pet relinquishments and abandonments following the easing of lockdowns and restrictions. We consider Jack Halberstam's argument around the 'zombie humanism' of pet ownership in relation to Donna Haraway's ideas on human-animal k…
Massive/Micro Sensemaking
In what ways have forms for engendering the interconnection and materiality required for creative production changed in the time of COVID-19? How and why have our notions of imagining and visualizing cross-cultural production and its modes of research, analysis, and representation shifted? The global pandemic and responses to it through various forms of cultural production have seen an explosion of productivity and collective social actions as we…
Posthuman Creativities
This chapter explores the urgent relevance of posthumanist theory and practice for democratizing creative educational experiences in 21st-century schools, universities, and informal learning environments. Posthumanism challenges the myopic centering of the human in creative education in an age of climate change, artificial intelligence, and zoonotic disease, where nonhuman agencies are intricately imbricated in human cultures and lives. Using a c…
A Manifesto for Posthuman Creativity Studies
This article advances a manifesto for a posthuman creativity studies that highlights the emergent, collective, and ecological aspects of creativity, offering propositions that problematize any individualist or human-exceptionalist approach to the field. We attend to a range of extra/ordinary affects, encounters, and modalities for expanding creative possibilities in the 21st century. Beginning with a recognition that creativity must be rewilded f…
Posthuman Creativities
This editorial lays the groundwork and context for this special issue addressing a range of posthuman ecological approaches to the study and theorization of creativity, and its potential to transform understandings of 21st-century learning events and environments, including cities, schools, museums, parklands, digital environments, wild places, and more. Importantly, this collection establishes an ethics and politics of posthumanism as it interse…
Race and Refugeity
This article introduces Cross-Marked: Sudanese Australian Young Women Talk Education, a series of seven short films made collaboratively with Sudanese young women from refugee backgrounds, examining their education experiences in Australia. The author frames this research through the emerging practice of ethnocinema and its relationship with ethnographic documentary. The coparticipants examine the prevailing social conditions for connectedness/di…
Looked at and looked over or
Through collaborative narrative writing, in this article, we redeploy the sense of refugeity present in our singular narratives to co-construct a shared space for creative scholarship that becomes a feminist space to belong. Drawing on feminist scholarship and performance theory, narrative collaborations awkwardly embrace our mutual and sometimes contradictory senses of self and identity performance. The co-constructed nature of this article refl…
Activist Affect
This brief essay considers what new materialist thought and affect theory in particular might bring to activist politics, particularly the need to sustain the energy and power of public assembly in the form of political marches into a movement that persists in and through time. We consider the site of both terrorist and activist acts not only as a public space-or stage-upon which both acts occur, but instead as public body that keeps the movement…
Monsters, desire and the creative queer body
In this essay, we return to the queer potential of the monstrous and extend it to the ‘invisibility’ and unintelligibility of non-binary trans* gender subjectivities and femme sexuality. In a text that moves between performative and expository prose – between two voices who speak to the rage, pride, and pleasure of monstrously queer gender identifications and sexualities – we write the power of being seen but not understood, of passing unnoticed,…
Intercultural crossings in a digital age
This article problematises the uptake and use of digital technologies by migrant and refugee-background young people, through the lens of a site-based arts pedagogy program, Culture Shack (CS), in Melbourne, Australia. It argues that online pedagogies including animation, Facebook, photoshop, mobile phones and Youtube can be used effectively for bridging cultural, gender and educational gaps, if the ways in which they are applied engage with comm…
Ethnocinema and the impossibility of culture
The emerging methodology of ethnocinema fuses techniques from its ethnographic origins with its co-constitutive methods, and invites collaborators to creatively come together for mutual education and cultural transformation. Education as a site of the enactment and “politics of identity construction” continues to confront notions of authenticity/fallacy, hybridity/purity and a media-driven “fictive unity” in the ways we enact and teach culture (S…
Feeling Fear, Feeling Queer
This essay considers what we are calling queer terror, an affective condition not limited to LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) or other minoritarian subjects, and its relationship to fear, hate, and factionalism (or isolationism). That is, queer terror is both terror against queer subjects and a queering of terror culture itself. We ask whether, through the act and its viral media representations, queer terror creates minoritarian pu…

The barriers that only you can see’
This qualitative study argues the need to recognise the increasing numbers of new African women migrants who have come to Australia with tertiary qualifications, but who are not necessarily refugees. These women are enrolling in and successfully completing university study. At the same time, the study makes clear the limits of conceptualising African Australian women’s experiences of education through a singular focus on struggle, disengagement a…
Singing into Language
This article examines the ethnocinematic research project Cross-Marked: Sudanese Australian Young Women Talk Education, and its relationship to the evolving notion of public pedagogies. The project explores the potential of alternative pedagogies, which include popular culture, especially audiovisual forms, to engage teachers and learners with one another in collaborative pedagogical methods. The author's collaborative work with students from ref…
Intersectionality, interdisciplinarity and mental health in education
Gains and losses
This article argues that African women migrants in Australia are increasingly enrolling in and successfully completing tertiary study, usually at high emotional and financial cost. While this qualitative study has shown that both refugee-background and non-refugee African Australian women's enrolment in higher education is enabling new forms of participation and belonging in resettlement, it continues to challenge the women's more traditional cul…
(All The) Single Ladies
In the film fragment Smart B**ch, two women-a black Sudanese-Australian and a white American-Australian-share what it means to be diasporic travellers and explore their similarities and differences within evolving feminist discourses which have in some ways abandoned the subaltern for the subdivided. No longer content to criticise the ways in which we speak for and to each other, and to accommodate hierarchies of class, race and sexuality, this e…
Minding the gap
Drawing on performative public pedagogies, Sudanese young women have co-created ethno-cinematic films in order to reflect on their prior schooling, ongoing resettlement in the West, representations in the media, and offer advice to newly arriving African young women and the education system itself
Someone’s Private Zoo
This article explodes traditional notions of ethnographic documentary, and instead positions the emerging practice of ethnocinema as a 21st century modality that falls within the paradigm of what Denzin calls the ‘eighth moment scholarship’ in this ‘fractured future’. Drawing on the monological, dialogic and imagistic ‘data’ from the ethnocinematic research project Cross‐Marked: Sudanese Australian Young Women Talk Education, the article uses eth…
Neir Riel (Strong Girls)
This article examines the ways in which Sudanese Australian students from refugee backgrounds are often perceived in their high schools as transgressive, and how this transgression-perceived or real-may become for them a liberatory invitation for both students and teachers, and a means to a reconstruction of self, educational contexts, and freedom (hooks). Through discussion of the ethnocinematic research project Cross-Marked: Sudanese Australian…
Slowly by Slowly
This article examines the research project Cross-Marked: Sudanese-Australian Young Women Talk Education, which draws on the varying knowledge of Sudanese students from refugee backgrounds and the principles and practices of ethnocinema which prioritize relationship and mutuality in intercultural collaborations. The seven documentary films which comprise Cross-Marked comment on the complexities of the performance of liminal identities for both res…
Cigarette sales to African-American and white minors in low-income areas of Baltimore
OBJECTIVES: This study documented illegal sales of cigarettes to minors in low-income African-American and White urban areas in East Baltimore. METHODS: Six youths, aged 14 through 16 years, were sent to a random sample of 83 corner stores to attempt to purchase cigarettes. The youths provided the investigators with data on merchant, store, and purchase characteristics. RESULTS: The youths successfully purchased cigarettes in 85.5% of the stores;…
Intra‐Asian Creativity in Hong Kong Education and Activism
This essay draws on empirical research from two studies examining creativity, activism, and education in Hong Kong. We use a decolonizing and deimperializing approach to centering creativity as a lever for social change, and demonstrate the ways in which the specifics of culture, region, time, and place uniquely produce forms of creativity, as has long been documented by creativity scholars. We build upon Kuan‐hsing Chen's Asia as Method : Toward…

Sexualities, creativities and contemporary publics
The Way We Weren't
This autoethnographic performance uses the lyrics, mode, and performative stylistic of Barbra Streisand's famous song as a provocation for exploring the ways in which young adoptees sometimes idealize an imaginary love that is not limited to parent-child but rather floats out like a lyrical overture into the broader landscape of "misty watercolor memories" of a wish for the way things might have been. When Barbra asks Can it be that it was all so…
Rejecting Ahmed's 'melancholy migrant
This paper draws on related research studies in two urban centres (Melbourne and Adelaide, Australia) with South Sudanese men and women engaged in varying degrees with higher education. The co-authors examine some gendered differences in the process and demands of resettlement, including within employment and education, and its implications for rapidly changing public versus private gender roles. We argue against essentialising discourses of the …
Queer superheroes
This paper troubles the im/possibilities of exploring difference through queer popular culture within the teacher education classroom. This article locates such pedagogical practice as existing in opposition to dominant neoliberal discourses around the marketization of higher education as well as queerness in mainstream popular culture, and the expectation of students that all education coursework should be ‘relevant’ to mainstream marketplace cl…

Blame it on Tyra
This paper offers a performative autoethnography in order to make transparent-in-context relationships and research data arising from an ethnocinematic doctoral study entitled: ‘Cross-marked: Sudanese Australian Young Women Talk Education’. The performative structure of this paper reflects contemporary developments in qualitative and education research that acknowledge researchers/educators as gendered, sexualized, and racialized. From these subj…
Truth or Dare
The performative identities of both Black and queer characters in film have been noted by academics in 'Black queer diasporic theory' (Rinaldo Walcott) and artists such as Cheryl Dunye and Isaac Julien, with particular focus on the ways in which these identities have been constructed from both within and outside of their respective communities. Australian Indigenous and lesbian filmmaker Sonja Dare took the discourse one step further, however, in…

Virtual Embodiment as/and the Threshold of Love
This essay draws upon the author’s performance script Fall and Walter Benjamin’s The Arcades Project as a provocation for considering the ways performance texts provide a threshold for somatic inquiry, and for recognizing the limits of scholarly analysis that does not take up performance-as-inquiry. Set at the Empire State Building, this essay embodies the connections and missed possibilities between strangers and intimates in the context of urba…

Animating failure
This paper throws a provocative light on marginalizing practices around race and religion within lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer and questioning communities, as explored and expressed through a community consultation and animation programme, Teaching Diversities, in Melbourne, Australia.

The Creative Turn
The conundrum of understanding, practising and teaching contemporary creativity is that it wants to be all things to all people. Almost all modern lists of creativity, creative thinking and how-to â becoming creativeâ books begin with one premise: the creative individual/artist is not special, rather each of us is creative in a special way and these skills can â and must - be nurtured. Increasingly, industry and education leaders are claiming tha…
‘It gets narrower’
Using collaborative performance ethnography in community- and school-based settings, sex education has the potential to challenge at-risk narratives for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer (LGBTIQ) youth. This paper problematises the youth-led drama project Epic Queer to test the 'queer' potential of youth-driven initiatives at the school and community level, and to reject the singularity of victimised and 'at-risk' narratives…
GLBTIQ teachers in Australian education policy
Recognition of human rights on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity and intersex status by the United Nations has led to the development of new policies concerning homophobia and transphobia in educational contexts. This paper examines new Australian education policies impacting gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer (GLBTIQ) teachers. A policy review uncovered a range of protections for GLBTIQ teachers in contexts su…
