Immersive Cartography and Post-Qualitative Inquiry: A Speculative Adventure in Research-Creation

Immersive Cartography and Post-Qualitative Inquiry introduces immersive cartography as a transdisciplinary approach to social inquiry in an age of climate change and technological transformation. 
Drawing together innovative theories and practices from the environmental arts, process philosophy, education studies, and posthumanism, the book frames immersive cartography as a speculative adventure that gradually transformed the physical and conceptual architectures of a university environment. The philosophical works of Alfred North Whitehead, Gilles Deleuze, and Felix Guattari are touchstones throughout the book, seeding the development of concepts that re-imagine the university through a more-than-human ecology of experience. Illustrated by detailed examples from Rousell’s artistic interventions and pedagogical experiments in university learning environments, the book offers new conceptual and practical tools for navigating the ontological turn across the social sciences, arts, and humanities. 
Rousell’s wide-ranging and detailed analysis of pedagogical encounters resituates learning as an affective and environmentally distributed process, proposing a "trans-qualitative" ethics and aesthetics of inquiry that is orientated toward processual relations and events. As a foothold for a new generation of scholarship in the social sciences, this book opens new directions for research across the fields of post-qualitative inquiry, art and aesthetics, critical university studies, affect theory, and the posthumanities.

Review "Immersive cartography is an innovative approach to inquiry that employs multiple theoretical and disciplinary perspectives to create the "new." In his engrossing book, Rousell produces the kind of 21st century experimental work that is possible once we leave behind the 20th century’s pre-existing social science research methodologies that shut down thought and simply repeat what already exists. Researchers who feel constrained by dogmatic approaches to inquiry will be energized by immersive cartography’s daring and its rich possibilities for creativity". – Professor Elizabeth A. St. Pierre, Department of Educational Theory and Practice, University of Georgia, USA"David Rousell’s book articulates an exciting new direction for research across the arts, education and critical posthumanities. This is a groundbreaking book which offers a unique vision of what scholarship and pedagogy in the posthuman university might look like. Drawing on process philosophy, Rousell radically opens questions of art, learning, and the multiplicity of creativities that animate life within an expanded field of more-than-human relations, affects, and concerns. An excellent resource for undergraduates, graduate students, researchers, educators and scholars working in and across the fields of arts, education, critical posthumanities and postqualitative methodology". – Professor Pamela Burnard, Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge, UK About the Author David Rousell is Senior Lecturer in Creative Education at RMIT University, Australia, where he works in the Creative Agency Lab and Digital Ethnography Research Centre. His research is invested in the reimagining of educational cultures, theories, and environments through new empirical approaches drawing on the relational arts and process philosophy.

Posthuman research playspaces: Climate child imaginaries addresses the need for new forms of climate change education that are responsive to the rapidly changing material conditions of children's socioecological worlds. The book provides a comprehensive understanding of how posthumanist concepts and methods can be creatively developed and deployed in collaboration with children and young people. It connects climate change education with posthumanist studies of childhood in the social sciences and environmental humanities. It also offers opportunities for readers to encounter new theoretical and methodological approaches for collaborative art, inquiry, and learning with children. Drawing on three years of participatory research undertaken with 135 children in the Climate Change and Me (CC+Me) project, it takes children's creative and affective responses to climate change as the starting point for the co-production of knowledge, community engagement, and the transformation of pedagogy and curriculum in schools. Thinking through process philosophy, and in particular, the works of Whitehead and Deleuze, the book develops new concepts and methods of creative inquiry which situate children's learning, aesthetic production, and theory-building within a more-than-human ecology of experience. The book presents a series of generative openings and propositions for future research in the field of climate change education, while also offering wide-ranging applications for graduate students and researchers in childhood and youth studies, the environmental arts and humanities, cultural studies of science and technology, educational philosophy, and environmental education.

From the Back Cover\nThis book focuses on critical walking and mapping practices through the research methodology of a/r/tography. Initially establishing seven global sites for employing movement-based research practices within culturally conceived a/r/tographic perspectives, the book builds upon and extends an international community of practice. The editors and contributors apply public pedagogy through a/r/tographic and critical walking inquiry, and explore how these forms may be engaged, understood and expanded globally. The chapters examine how a/r/tography and walking inquiry can be practiced, theorised, experienced, extended and conceptualised. The cartographic perspectives, theoretical positions and conceptual investigations included in this collection respond to the fundamental contemporary need for new and fresh models of teaching, learning and scholarship regarding global and local educational and social challenges. They offer tangible, aesthetic and rigorous examples for researchers, educators, community practitioners and research students to engage with a/r/tography and critical walking inquiry.\nAlexandra Lasczik is Professor and Associate Dean (Research) at Southern Cross University, Australia.
