Abstract

Indexes new and emerging trends in both transdisciplinary and posthuman research

• Indexes new and emerging research in the fields of transdisciplinary and posthuman studies
• Provides practical examples of how to do posthuman research, focusing on methods and practices
• Showcases the vital importance of the humanities in the contemporary moment

While posthumanism has gained traction over the past few decades, its application has, so far, mostly been within the humanities. This volume brings together a collection of researchers working both within the humanities and beyond, including in marine biology, computer science, the social sciences, legal studies, decolonial studies, pedagogies, and nursing practice, to focus on methods and practices that showcase how to do transdisciplinary posthuman work.

At a time where the humanities are in question, with multiple departments and faculties being shut down or drastically cut in size, Posthuman Convergences provides a strong example of exactly why the humanities are so vital in the contemporary moment. It showcases a series of ways to help us think differently about the most pressing problems of our times.
