“…project via the concept of the gift. This ongoing moving with the gift is done as a mode of concept-ing and unfolds below as our continuing attempt at staying with the trouble that the refusal of methods ossification in critical posthumanist and feminist materialist research requires (Murris, 2021;Fairchild et al, 2022). If walking as process methodology is a gift, then what sort of gift might it be?…”

This article takes off from a project entitled Get Up and Move! which used walking as a methodology to envisage research in higher education beyond the human and outside individual, instrumental and competitive codings. The Get Up and Move! project activated new research possibilities for walking as an attentive, situated, emplaced and embodied practice of posthuman thinking, doing and becoming; it experimented with walking’s posthuman generativity as a relational and processual methodology; and it aimed to be inventive, experimental, less elitist, and more inclusive. The project’s posthuman orientation was inspired by Donna Haraway’s (2016) concept of sympoiesis as a human-nonhuman doing-making-thinking-creating together, which is outlined in the first two parts of the article. This remainder of the article conceptually entangles this initial framing with/in a further process of concept-ing, which designates a theoretical-creative-speculative doing with the concept to unfold its ongoing potentialities and push its inventive mobilities. The concept we do our concept-ing with is the concept of the gift. Working from Mauss’s theorisation of the gift, we practice concept-ing as a means to trace new movements, possibilities and imaginaries for walking sympoietically. Our concept-ings pursue van der Tuin and Verhoeff’s (2022, 3) suggestion that concepts are “productive and experimental ‘doings,’ enmeshed in practice rather than fixed, retrospective labels for things.”

“…There are currently a number of lively debates and practices about doing conferences differently (see for example, Fairchild, et al, 2021). Immanent and diffractive critique contribute to reconfiguring traditional academic conferences by generating knowledge differently (Osgood, et al, 2020: 596).…”

Criticality and critique require careful attention by authors, reviewers, and editors in Critical Studies in Teaching and Learning (CRiSTaL), since they form a central focus of the journal. Conventional views of critique are influenced by unexpressed assumptions that what is needed is an authoritative expert, who from a position of superiority and distance, diagnoses and pronounces on the inadequacies of the text. This article explores more generative approaches to critique and criticality such as immanent critique and diffractive methodologies. We argue that in order for immanent critique and diffractive methodologies to happen, sensibilities such as attentiveness, response-ability, accountability, generosity, and curiosity are necessary. The final section of the paper considers academic practices of reviewing, writing, reading, pedagogy, and conferencing in relation to immanent critique and diffractive methodologies and the sensibilities we propose which make these forms of critique and criticality possible.

“…Our collective demonstrates how story-ing, with/through each other can make new kinship practices possible. Our stories, often about mundane and everyday things, hinted at the previously unnoticed, thus revealing our capacity to perceive life differently (Fairchild et al, 2022). We used our stories as early career researchers and emerging scholars, during these troubled, ongoing COVID-19 pandemic times, to exchange ideas and notice how our two groups intermingled, overlapped, and became enmeshed.…”

“…Carrier bag storytelling has been used more recently in posthuman, feminist, and new materialism methodologies as arts-based research praxis (Adsit-Morris, 2017;De Rijke, & Osgood, 2021). Such methodologies provide mechanisms for participation and collectivism Fairchild et al, 2022;Pérez-Bustos, Suchman & Piraquive, 2020). For example, arts-based assemblages and storytelling around the intra-activities of a children's book enabled De Rijke and Osgood (2021) to think with children's literature and reading in England.…”
