Transformative Feminist Pedagogies for More-than-human Futures

As part of the new ATGENDER book series, Gender: Theories, Troubles, Transformations, published by Bloomsbury, a call for chapters is now open for the project Transformative Feminist Pedagogies for More-than-human Futures. The central question guiding this call is: How can feminist pedagogies inspire and inform transformative, sustainable, and generative ways of learning, creating, and living?

Suggested themes (while proposals on related topics are also welcome):

• Feminist, queer, trans, and decolonial pedagogies – approaches that challenge normative assumptions about gender, sexuality, care, kinship, and belonging, engaging with intersectional, Indigenous, and non-Western ways of knowing and learning.
• Pedagogies and practices that rethink human exceptionalism and cultivate ecological awareness through multispecies, environmental, and relational educational approaches.
• Artistic, embodied, and experimental practices – contributions exploring theatre, spatial design, performance, making, somatic practices, games, speculative methods, and other creative pedagogies that expand educational possibilities.
• Learning beyond the classroom – community based, activist, outdoor, informal, and collaborative educational practices that broaden and reimagine institutional learning environments.
• Critical pedagogies of technology and artificial intelligence – explorations of how digital technologies and AI shape education, including pedagogical practices that question, resist, repurpose, or move beyond automation, algorithmic governance, platformization, technological determinism, and solutionist imaginaries.
• Speculative futures – pedagogies that imagine alternative conceptions of time, place, kinship, spirituality, relationality, and collective futures.

Submission Guidelines:
