A Review of Posthumanist Education Research

On this webpage you can find the comprehensive bibliography for an article we published in AERA’s annual publication of the Review of Research in Education. The article reviews education research influenced by posthumanist philosophies, which we defined broadly.  We spent over 3 years working on the review, ultimately reviewing over 300 articles, book chapters, and books.

Despite the editors generosity with word allowance, we could neither cite all of these manuscripts in the text of the article nor include all of these texts in the published bibliography.  Therefore, we included in the publication a link to this website that provides a comprehenisive bibliography. We plan to periodically update it for at least a couple of years after the publication. We hope it will be of use to scholars influenced by and adding to this literature.

If you use the article and extended bibliography for your work, we ask that you cite the original review and the extended bibliography. You may use the following citation for the bibliographic database.  The bibliography can, of course, also be cited separately.

This bibliographic data base will be periodically updated.  If you have a citation of an education research publication you think should be included in this bibliography, you can send it to jrosiek@uoregon.edu with the subheading PH Bibliography.  We will do our best to monitor, assess, and where appropriate include such suggestions as a service to the field. No promises as to the pace of our updates, .

Camas are flowers that are difficult to cultivate but grow wild in many areas in the central valley of Oregon. They produce a starchy root that was a staple in the diets of the Kalapuya people who lived in the area around the University of Oregon before European contact. The root continues to be harvested and used for special occasions.

This research was produced while the authors lived and worked (on and off) on the unceded land of the Kalapuya people.  Today, many Kalapuyan people currently live and thrive as members of the federally recognized Siletz tribe and Grand Ronde tribe in Eastern Oregon.

We acknowledge the continuing history of place relations from which this work emerged, in part, as a gesture of solidarity with our Indigenous siblings in the ongoing struggle against colonization, displacement, and genocide. We also acknowledge this place because it influenced the content of the article posted here. Indigenous student activism at the University of Oregon has profoundly shaped the College of Education where the authors worked and studied. The presence of the Indigenous studies literature in this article is in part a consequence of the activism of those students who have multi-generational relations to the land of what is now known as the Willamette Valley.  This valley has worked an influence on what we (the authors) read, how we think, and what we believe is possible. Indeed, there is a way in which this place has co-authored this article through that activism and through its influence on us, the authors.  For more on this history and activism see: Rosiek, J. & Snyder, J. (2020).  The Fruit of Protest: Listening to Indigenous Voices. In M. Jacobs & Stephany Johnson (Eds.), On Indian ground: the northwest.  Charlotte, NC: Information Age Publishing.  207-232.
