Description
Actor-Network Theory in Education by Tara J. Fenwick and Richard Edwards offers a unique perspective on educational issues, shifting the focus from human to material elements. This book introduces concepts, approaches, and debates around Actor-Network Theory as a research approach in education, showcasing its diverse applications in various settings. The authors explore how ANT can be used in classrooms, workplaces, and community settings, demonstrating its potential for policy critique, curriculum inquiry, engagement with digital media, change and innovation, accountability, and the exploration of knowledge. Recent 'after-ANT' inquiries are also examined, revealing new approaches to learning and practice. By tracing the emergence of learning and practice across diverse environments, this book provides insight into what scales are at play and what this means for educational possibilities.
