The Touch of the Present
2023
Overview
How are educational encounters understood, experienced, and lived?
How are they conceptualized? How do they shape our being in and of
the world? In this time of apparent distance and disconnect, this
volume emphasizes the role of contact and connectedness in
education, above all by understanding education as encounters, as
embodied, sensory experiences. Drawing on a range of theoretical
positions that highlight our profound interconnection with things
and other bodies-from feminism to Buddhism to new materialism and
beyond-Sharon Todd argues that educational encounters are
formations of \"touching\" and \"being touched by.\" They are singular
in their eventfulness and yet bring us into relation with our
environment. Focusing particular attention on two key issues for
teachers and students today-the climate emergency and online
education- The Touch of the Present offers unique insights
into the aesthetics and politics of educational practices, seeing
them as embodied processes that not only contribute to how one is
socialized into a given order but also carry the transformative
potential for \"becoming\" beyond the cultural scripts we are given.
