It is a commonplace in educational policy and theory to claim that
digital technology has 'transformed' the university, the nature of
learning and even the essence of what it means to be a scholar or a
student. However, these claims have not always been based on strong
research evidence. What are students and scholars actually doing in
the day-to-day life of the digital university? This book examines
in detail how the world of the digital interacts with texts,
artefacts, devices and humans, in the contemporary university
setting. Weaving together perspectives from a range of thinkers and
disciplinary sources, Lesley Gourlay draws on ideas from posthuman
and new materialist theory in particular, to open up our
understanding about how digital knowledge practices operate. She
proposes that digital engagement in the university should not be
regarded as 'virtual' or disembodied, but instead may be understood
as a complex set of entanglements of the body, texts and material
artefacts, making a case that agency and the ways in which
knowledge emerges should be regarded as 'more than human'.
