This pre-conference (8am-4pm) includes two sessions. Participants may sign up for one or both when registering for the AERA annual meeting. The first session, “Scaffolding the Critical Posts,” will be led by Kathryn Strom, Saralyn McKinnon-Crowley, and Bretton Varga. This workshop focuses on supporting audience understanding when communicating about critical posthuman and postfoundational research in publications, job materials, and talks. The second session, “Thinking-With and Researching-With the Critical Posts,” features talks by scholars Maggie MacLure, Elizabeth deFreitas, and Sarah Truman, with discussions following each talk.
