Exploring digital life-worlds: the postphenomenology of writing

Professor Cathy Adams

Professor of educational computing

Faculty of Education, University of Alberta

Professor Adams' research investigates digital technology integration across K-12 and post-secondary educational environments, ethical and pedagogical issues involving digital technologies including Artificial Intelligence, and K-12 Computing Science curriculum and computational thinking (CT) pedagogy. Cathy employs a range of posthuman-postdigital methods in her inquiries including interviewing objects, postphenomenology, phenomenology of practice, media ecology, and other new materialist and sociomaterialist approaches.

Professor Lesley Gourlay

Professor of Education

UCL Knowledge Lab

Professor Gourlay's scholarship focuses on technologies and knowledge practices, with a particular emphasis on textual practices and the digital. Her recent theoretical work has focused on sociomaterial, posthuman and postphenomenological perspectives on engagement in the university, exploring themes of surveillance, inscription, nonhuman agency, and digital media. She is a recipient of a Leverhulme Major Research Fellowship (2021-2024) and recently completed a monograph (Bloomsbury) The University and the Algorithmic Gaze: Documentation and Performativity in Digitised Education.
