Career Summary

Biography

Dr Fee Mozeley is an environmental feminist writer, educator and researcher who lives on Awabakal Country. Her interdisciplinary research blends rich nuanced conceptual understandings of gender and socio-cultural issues with practical hands-on, hearts-forward practices to explore the intra-connections between more-than-rational ways of being and knowing, care-based ethics, storytelling and belonging. Her doctoral research examined how stories (grand cultural narratives) can help to make sense of women’s belonging in Australia’s colonially informed patriarchal present.

 

Fee's teaching philosophy is grounded in feminist popular education principles. The feminist uptake of emergent design within popular education emphasises planning and design based on openness (transparency in processes), trust (relational understandings and empathy) and flexibility (feeling, reading and intuiting group dynamics and needs). Sociologist Norman Denzin notes that constructivist learning environments require “emergent designs and emergent understandings” (1994, 502). David Cavallo later coined ‘emergent design’ as “the conceptual space where the purposeful stance implied by the word ‘design’ mates with the openness implied by the word ‘emergent’’ (2000, 774). When understood in this way, her curriculum design and delivery are rigorous and receptive.

How might deeply embodied student experiences and nonhuman agency change the way we think about learning theory? Pushing the conceptual boundaries of practice-based learning and communities of practice, this chapter draws on student experiential fieldwork 'on Country' with Indigenous people in the Northern Territory (NT), Australia, to explore the peculiar silence when it comes to more-than-human1 features of situated learning models. As students engage with, and learn from, Indigenous epistemologies and ontologies, they become open to the ways their learning is co-produced in and with place. The chapter builds a case for an inclusive conceptualisation of communities of practice, one that takes seriously the material performativity of nonhuman actors - rock art, animals, plants and emotions in the 'situatedness' of socio-cultural contexts. As a co-participant in the students' community of practice, the more-than-human forms part of the process of identity formation and actively helps students learn. To shed light on the student experiences we employ Leximancer, a software tool that provides visual representations of the qualitative data drawn from focus groups with students and field diaries.
