Postdigital learner agency: Navigating hybrid and algorithmically mediated education

Category: Publication
In my recent article, “The Entangled Learner: Critical Agency for the Postdigital Era” (Code, 2025), I explored how traditional notions of learner agency no longer serve us in a world shaped by algorithms, AI, and hybrid learning environments. As our educational spaces become increasingly mediated by sociotechnical systems, we need new frameworks that reflect this complexity. That’s why I’m editing a new volume titled Postdigital Learner Agency: Navigating Hybrid and Algorithmically Mediated Education, and I’m inviting chapter proposals from scholars, educators, designers, and researchers who are engaging critically with these issues. This volume builds on the Postdigital Learner Agency (PLĀ) framework, which redefines agency not as something purely individual, but as relational, collective, and deeply entangled with both digital and non-digital realities. It’s about equipping learners—and ourselves—to navigate power, bias, and possibility in education shaped by data and code. If you’re working in K–12, higher education, lifelong learning, or professional training, I’d love to hear from you.
