Becoming With/In Flux: Pedagogies of Sustainment (POSt)

Abstract

This article responds to the query “what do intra-active pedagogies produce?” Our experiences with intra-active pedagogies produced a productive flux for us, two graduate students. Although being with this flux was welcome with/in these intra-active pedagogies, with/in other spaces(s) it was unwelcome. Through thinking with theory and writing, we produced new concepts to stay with the flux in our becomings (post-)qualitative scholars: We produced pedagogies of sustainment (POSt). (Re)Presenting three POSt concepts we invite those who teach, learn, and participate in qualitative research courses to consider the ethics of intra-active pedagogies and what emerges and diffracts through the becomings of scholars.
