As my research interest in the educational prospects of the metaverse grows, I’m interested to explore new and innovative ways that users are engaging with VR/AR to think education differently. So far, on the contrary, most mainstream education platforms in metaversal spaces are conservative in their reproduction of very traditional educational spaces, like the school and the university campus. I expand on this point of inquiry in the above talk [from about 40mins in) given at the British Educational Research Association Annual Conference in 2023.

Enjoyed the presentation. Much to say. Perhaps the simplest is that where your agenda seems to focus on reminds me of Rancière’s notion of a thing in common or a third thing. (Rancière, J. (1991). The Ignorant Schoolmaster: Five Lessons in Intellectual Emancipation. Stanford University Press. ) The other connect is a gig I was involved with some time back that has some of these characteristics. Last but by no means least, Bruno Latour gets a mention in your book. I have been drawing on his and related sensibilities for a wee while.
