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.
