Research Talk - Jessie Beier

ACCESSIBLE PEDAGOGIES FOR THE “END TIMES”: WORK, ENERGY, SUSTAINABILITY

What is the work of accessible pedagogy given the convergence of crises in which education is situated today?

Taking this question as a starting point, this talk outlines an approach to accessible pedagogy that centres work, energy and sustainability in order to develop an intersectional and critical disability framework for rethinking inclusive art education practices.

jessie beier is an artist, philosopher, educator and author of the book Pedagogy at the End of the World: Weird Pedagogies for Unthought Educational Futures (Palgrave Macmillan, 2023). Working at the intersection of art, philosophy and pedagogy, jessie’s research-creation practice aims to mutate and upend dominant visions of educational givenness in order to collectively actualize potentials for weird pedagogical life to emerge.
