Laura Bissell (Royal Conservatoire of Scotland) and Centre colleagues James Lamb and David Overend are glad to announce a Call for Chapters for the book "Postdigital Learning Journeys".
The project follows the editors' latest research article, where they introduced the concept of "postdigital learning journey": https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s42438-025-00539-y#citeas.
The edited collection seeks to answer the following questions:
- What types of knowledge, environments, and experiences shape postdigital learning journeys?
- Who is included and excluded from these journeys, and why?
- How do digital and physical spaces intersect, and what are the implications for inclusion, environmental sustainability, and transformation in education?
The editors welcome shorter contributions (up to 3500 words), as well as longer chapters (up to 7000 words), and aim to bring together voices and insights from different disciplines and contexts, including those of early career academics, graduate students, and nontraditional scholars and practitioners, for instance artists and activists who work with mobilities.
Contributions might include, but are not limited to, critical work under these topics:
- Postdigital learning journeys and environmental sustainability
- Inclusion and exclusion within postdigital learning journeys
- Itinerant postdigital learning journeys
- The politics and ethics of postdigital learning journeys
- Postdigital thinking and future learning journeys
- Theoretical perspectives on postdigital mobility and education
- Case studies of mobile learning in diverse postdigital settings
- Creative and cultural postdigital mobilities in practice
- The role of digital technologies in shaping learning journeys
- Methodologies for researching mobile, postdigital education
If you're interested in contributing to the collection, send an abstract (300 words) to Laura Bissell, (l.bissell@rcs.ac.uk), James Lamb (james.lamb@ed.ac.uk) and David Overend (david.overend@ed.ac.uk) by the 1st May 2025.
For any enquiries, do not hesitate to contact the editors: Laura Bissell, (l.bissell@rcs.ac.uk), James Lamb (james.lamb@ed.ac.uk) and David Overend (david.overend@ed.ac.uk).
