Questucation

My guiding principle: to live is to learn. Questucation keeps the questions open – what and how do we learn, who learns, who teaches? A philosophy, methodology and pedagogical practice of shared thinking, not of supposedly fixed bodies of knowledge.

Relational Becoming

In my doctoral thesis I question rigid assumptions about the individual and the collective and think social belonging as a relational process: as navigations of becoming-with. To this day this forms the epistemic basis of my research.

Sounding Knowledge Network

A transdisciplinary research network exploring Sonic Pedagogy: sensory, embodied and implicit learning as a response to the visuocentrism of conventional education. The network gave rise to the zine and podcast „How to do things (pedagogically) with Sound“. Funded by AHRC, University of the Arts London.

(Wie) Bildet Klang? Eine Verhältnisbestimmung zwischen Sound Theorie und einer Bildung als Beziehungsweise(n)

This chapter asks how sound educates and what educational-theoretical relevance sound theory holds. I develop a relationship between sound studies and an understanding of education that I think of as a way of relating: not as the acquisition of knowledge, but as embodied becoming in relation to the world and others.

Ich höre was, was du nicht siehst. Reflexionen über die Notwendigkeit einer Kritischen Klangbildung

Seeing dominates our idea of knowledge and education. This chapter argues for a critical sound education: for a politically attentive listening that understands sound not as an accessory but as a dimension of its own, in which power, difference and world are articulated.
