dc.description | In this workshop, we are interested in situated pedagogies that may be conceptualized both around the notion of education that is specific to its socio-spatial context and simultaneously transformative for educators, learners, and that context. Regarding the articulation of situated pedagogies critical spatial practices, as in Jane Rendell’s conceptualisation (2003; 2006; 2011), we call for experiences that question and transform the social conditions of the place in scrutiny for spatial speculation. For this workshop we made a call for educators and learners to send an abstract of 500 words, about their critical and personal reflection on situated pedagogies. We encouraged participants to bring their personal experiences, since we think as Joan W. Scott (1991) points out, every experience is partial and specific as well as contested and contingent. A critical handling of those experiences will allow us an insight into the ways in which power structures operate, if we want to act beyond them. In telling of the personal, we also welcomed speculative gestures, which as Isabelle Stengers and Didier Debaise suggest take risks to experiment with the possibles while the reality agreed-upon points to another, and which bring out the constraining situations of one’s specific experiences (Stengers, 1997/2010; Stengers and Debaise, 2016/2017). | |
dc.description.abstract | Stories of Situated Pedagogies in Architecture and … aims to gather educators and learners who are enthusiastic about sharing their stories of situated pedagogies in architecture and other fields with an interest in critical spatial practices. In April 2023, we invited all to apply to this workshop call with critical responses to their personal experiences in education. With this call, we envisioned a beginning of a playful and productive platform for communication through pre-workshop peer-to-peer reviews, round-table sessions and field trips in Istanbul, and post-workshop collaborations for publication. The concept of situated pedagogies is rooted in Donna Haraway’s claim for ‘situated knowledges’ (1988), which suggests that knowledge is produced through partial, subjective, embodied, and multiple perspectives. Through the conceptualization of knowledge as being produced rather than being transmitted, situated pedagogies question the static positions of educator and learner, and instead suggest a transformativerelational agency for both. Situated pedagogies may be approached as part of everyday life similar to bell hooks’ ‘engaged pedagogy’ (1994), in which educators and learners connect their personal experiences to their academic practices for building their individual and situated voices and nurture a freeing, pluralistic, democratic, inclusive and most precisely a hopeful educational environment. In contemporary times of disasters, wars, and displacements, it is especially an urgent need to perpetually search for ways of situating education and oneself as educators and learners. | |
