Posthuman Confluencies

Abstract

In our final chapter, we consider five posthuman or digital confluencies that have come to matter in today's professional work and learning practices, paying particular attention to the work of researchers: developing a posthumanist ethic; anticipating changes to our thinking, being, and doing; reckoning with the deskilling and upskilling of work practices; dealing with digital data; and questioning digital politics. We suggest that our heuristics can play a key role in addressing some of these new professional responsibilities, some of which may have far-reaching ethical, political, social, and policy implications.
