Affective Geographies and Politics of Education
Associate Professor of geography education at the department of geosciences and geography
In my research, I attempt to think learning spatially to acknowledge the fundamentally relational and deeply affectual coming-together of ideas, histories, and doings. I am therefore interested in how learning takes place within various geographical and ideological landscapes, and how these affective framings allow for hesitation and dwelling, which I link to the emergence of new knowledge. This geographical re-conceptualization of learning aims to take into account the various ‘others’ with which humans sense and think, and probe the educational politics linked to these landscapes.
