For this episode, we’re joined by Petar Jandrić, Derek R. Ford, Michael A. Peters, and Sarah Hayes to discuss two books published in 2022: Bioinformational Philosophy and Postdigital Knowledge Ecologies (edited by Michael, Petar, and Sarah) and Postdigital Ecopedagogies: Genealogies, Contradictions, and Possible Futures (edited by Petar and Derek). We talk about bioinformational philosophy and biodigitalism, scholarly production within the knowledge economy, and what it means to think and act postdigitally. Petar is Professor at the Zagreb University of Applied Sciences, Croatia, and Visiting Professor at the University of Wolverhampton, UK, Derek is Associate Professor of Education Studies at DePauw, Sarah is Professor of Higher Education Policy in the Education Observatory at the University of Wolverhampton, UK, and we welcome back Michael, Distinguished Professor of Education at Beijing Normal University and Emeritus Professor at the University of Illinois, from episode 11 to the show. The conversation from this episode was developed into an article, “The Postdigital-Biodigital Revolution,” in Postdigital Science and Education.
