Posthuman learning theory breaks with the notion of the autonomous learner. Focus is instead on complex, cultural aggregates of new technologies and how they change familiar positions; i.e. processes triggered by new technologies change how we understand ‘student ' and ' teacher ' or 'patient ' and 'nurse'. New technologies thereby change work in the public sector and challenge our perception of 'the human learner'.
My new theory on posthuman learning processes does not take the individual as its starting point, but interplay of materiality, the collective and the social.

People act within 'spaces of reasons’ that emerge when technologies affect and effect reactions in the physical space.

The posthuman perspective opens up for a new research approach to learning in virtual, yet materially embedded, environments, such as when robots will increasingly figure in our future learning environments as 'vibrant materiality’.

The inaugural lecture will be held in Danish.
