Reviews
"""This book offers an essential overview of how posthuman perspectives are intervening in the sciences, in the arts, and in education. Daigle and Hayler brought together a beautiful collection of texts, that are urgent, lucidly written and accessible to everyone interested in exploring the consequences of this inclusive and diverse movement. It should be included in every course that aims to map how study the contemporary."" --Rick Dolphijn, Associate Professor, Utrecht University, the Netherlands ""This transdisciplinary collection testifies to the rigour and ethical import of posthumanism. Traversing the humanities, social sciences, and sciences, Posthumanism in Practice is essential reading for all of us seeking methods, concepts, and creative new ways to bridge disciplines and to resist human exceptionalism in its many forms."" --Ada S. Jaarsma, Professor of Philosophy, Mount Royal University, Canada"

Author Information
Christine Daigle is Director of the Posthumanism Research Institute at Brock University, Canada. Her work investigates ontological and ethical questions related to posthuman subjectivity and the environmental posthumanities. She currently collaborates with a theatre company on a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) funded project exploring the posthuman of tomorrow via creative practice. Matt Hayler is Senior Lecturer in Contemporary Literature and Digital Cultures at the University of Birmingham, UK. He has taught courses related to trans- and posthumanism and digital cultures for the last 10 years. His research has looked at posthumanist approaches in the philosophy of technology (Challenging the Phenomena of Technology, 2015) and the production and reception of digital texts (Ambient Literature, 2020), and he now focuses on the meeting points of posthumanism, weird fiction, human enhancement, disability studies, and digital cultures.
