Helen has been producing a beautiful new materialist conceptualisation of neurodivergence (particularly autism) where Deleuze meets Barad meets neuro-holography meets Manning and more! This intellectual project is one I’m super interested to keep following as it develops in the months to come! 🔥

Quand j'ai commencé à penser cette question, on venait de passer à l'euro, facebook n'existait pas et on fumait dans les bars. Depuis le Moyen Age n'est plus le même, la question animale n'est plus la même: j'ai vécu avec ce livre pendant 25 ans, il est maintenant à vous.

La plateforme Genre en cours est en ligne ! C'est le fruit d'un super projet sur les études de genre et la pédagogie mené par Irène Gimenez et Heta Rundgren à Sorbonne Université. J'ai le plaisir d'y contribuer un texte sur la pédagogie neuroqueer : genre-en-cours.education/b8e876ff-236...

Qu’est-ce que les militant‧es et théoricien‧nes au croisement de la neurodiversité et des perspectives queer apportent à la réflexion pédagogique ? Cette notice se propose de mobiliser la perspective de la neurodiversité pour penser une pédagogie neuroqueer. Elle retrace d’abord le développement du lexique de la neurodiversité avant d’introduire la théorie neuroqueer de Nick Walker. Elle consacre enfin quelques réflexions sommaires à la neuroqueerisation des espaces d’apprentissage à partir des travaux de Helen Edgar et Ryan Boren.

This event brings together academics, independent researchers and lived-experience activists from across the globe to chart new possibilities with and beyond the neurodiversity concept.
What forms of inclusion and exclusion does neurodiversity perform as a concept, as a field, and as a movement? How may lines of queer, trans, crip, decolonial, posthumanist, or Mad thinking shake up and overspill the conventional boundaries of neurodiversity? How may the perspective of the more-than contribute to a radical expansion of neurodiversity beyond autism, the human, and the Global North? How can the disciplinary perspectives of literature, anthropology, sociology, or philosophy be brought together with activist practice to shape the critical neurodiversity studies that is so urgently needed today?
This online event is open to all members of the Neurodivergent Humanities Network (https://ndhumanities.com/), as well a
s members of the public.
