Bio

Dr. Piotrowski’s research focuses on adult environmental education and adult learning in environmental movements through media practices and digital culture. Her area of interest is in adult learning in the Anthropocene as it pertains to issues of subjectivity, ontology and epistemology, and media and technology.  She focuses on adult environmental education through continental philosophy and posthumanism. Her most recent work has an emerging focus on sensor technologies in public knowledge projects in the Anthropocene and investigates how adult environmental education is increasing infused with innovative projects that create techno-utopias of data-objectivity.  Dr. Piotrowski’s work investigates issues of subjectivity formation in education and conceptions of posthuman subjectivity and is frequently informed by the work of Gilles Deleuze and Henri Bergson, continental philosophy, and posthumanist though.  Methodologically, this work takes up the idea of non-representational methodologies and concept work as research creation.
