For this event in February, I was joined by Professor Petar Jandrić, Dr David Overend, Dr Jack Reed and Dr Maureen Finn. We delivered the event in hybrid mode, with 45 people present in the physical space of the Edinburgh Futures Institute, with another 110 attending online. As I noted in my opening words, this enabled us to reach a truly global class of teachers, technologists, researchers, students and other people with an interest in the relationship between learning spaces and digital technologies.
You can watch a recording of the session here (and with thanks to Claire Sowton for making the recording available and supporting the event more generally). David talked about learning in the postdigital city, Maureen discussed her research around the digital practices and spaces of primary school traveller children, Jack made the case for postdigital outdoor education, and I explored some of the central assumptions of postdigital thinking through the example of the undergraduate architecture studio. In doing this, I looked back at some of the work from my PhD, including the idea that there was promise in bringing a postdigital sensibility to the study of learning spaces. I went on to pursue that idea through a Special Issue (Lamb, Carvalho, Gallagher and Knox 2022), which has in turn sparked lots more interesting work over the last couple of years (most recently evidenced through this Call for Papers around 'The Postdigital Classroom'). And if all goes to plan, by the end of this summer my edited collection with Lucila Carvalho - 'Postdigital Learning Spaces: Towards Convivial, Equitable and Sustainable Spaces for Learning' (Springer Nature) will be available.
