Knowledge Production in Material Spaces is a curation of the interventions that the authors undertook at a range of academic conferences since 2016. It problematizes disciplined practices and expectations governing academic conference spaces and generates new ways of thinking and doing conferences otherwise. The authors use posthuman, feminist materialist and post-qualitative theories to disrupt knowledge production in neoliberal and bureaucratic conferences spaces. The analysis they offer, and the rhizomatic writing and presentational styles they use, promote a form of educational activism through theory. They interrogate the conference space as a regulated, normalized and standardized mode of academic knowledge production – which they call the ‘AcademicConferenceMachine’ – and playfully subvert the dominant meanings and modes of conferences and workshops to show how we can better interact and produce research, with and for each other. The authors indicate how creative conference practices promote playful possibilities to imagine and produce knowledge differently.This book will appeal to audiences ranging from established professionals to early career scholars, doctoral and master’s students in Education and the social sciences.

The Routledge International Handbook of Transdisciplinary Feminist Research and Methodological Praxis is organized around ways of doing fair and just research, with deliberate transdisciplinary overlap in each of the sections so as to share and demonstrate potential opportunities for lasting alliances.Authors and artists address topics that include the doing of original transdisciplinary research and engaging multiple communities in research; mentoring from both academic and community-based perspectives; creating and maintaining collaborative relationships; managing personal, professional, and financial challenges; addressing writing blocks and feelings of being overwhelmed; and experiences of care and joy. The range of feminist work invoked in this volume include, but are not limited to: intersectional feminisms, abolitionist feminism, Black feminism, Womanism, Chicana feminism, Latina feminism, BIPOC feminisms, Indigenous feminism, decolonial and postcolonial feminism, transnational feminism, gender and sexuality studies, queer feminism, trans feminisms, poststructural feminism, posthuman and more-than-human feminism, materialist feminism, crip feminism, feminist disability studies, quantum feminism, sonic feminisms, feminist science studies, science and technology studies, or STS, and more.From advanced graduate students to seasoned scholars, this volume presents timely knowledge and will be useful as a substantive guide to round out understandings of multiple approaches to feminist research.

This edited collection assembles a groundbreaking series of chapters from childhood and youth scholars investigating the ethical, political, and transformative possibilities that creative methodologies can bring to the field of gender and sexuality research.Drawing on original empirical studies from a diverse array of international and transnational projects, contributors illustrate how they draw upon arts-based research and a wide range of creative methods, from body sculptures to zine-making, to engage children and young people at every stage of the research process, from a project’s conception to its communication with diverse audiences. Each chapter foregrounds a particular method, and the central thread running through the book focuses on how gender and sexuality research with children and young people is configured, conducted and carries what matters into the world, when creativity is centred in the research process. As a collection, it will address the generative tensions and advantages of working creatively across various methods, disciplines and contexts.The book will be of great interest to international audiences of academic scholars and students interested in arts-based and creative methods in diverse fields, including social research methods, childhood and youth studies, sociology of education, gender and sexuality studies, and queer studies, as well as practitioners, policy makers, and artists interested in advancing their creative work on gender and sexualities in childhood and youth.
