This book is about becoming touched and moved by Karen Barad s agential realism. Karen Barad as Educator is not biographical. It is not about Barad. There is much to be learned about teaching and education research through the human and other-than-human narrative characters in Barad s writings and way of life. Reading this book is about becoming entangled with and being inspired by a passionate yearning for a radical reconfiguration of education in all its settings and phases (e.g. day-care centres schools colleges universities but also homes museums or therapy rooms). This book will appeal to lecturers teachers artists therapists parents and grandparents funders of education research organisers of educational events as well as detached youth workers. In short this book will speak to anyone interested in the what and the how of educational encounters and who is interested in alternatives to the dominant neoliberal national curricula educational policies and humanist teaching research and conference agendas. The book aims to offer a gripping account for educators to be inspired by the invigorating and elusive philosophy of agential realism with a specific focus on iterative performative practices that profoundly matter to what counts as knowledge teaching learning and response-able education science.
