Dan presented a public lecture drawing on the research project ‘Living life to the fullest’ which involves a co-researcher group of young women living with life-limiting and life-threatening impairments. This project is being led by Kirsty Liddiard, Katherine Runswick-Cole and Dan. The talk included a short film in which the co-researchers talked about the importance and process of co-research. The lecture then teased out the potential of co-authoring, the circulation of power in co-research, and the importance of responsive social theory to incubate co-research. Dan argued that co-research might be reframed as a quintessential posthuman practice. Dan was then joined by a panel of Australian theorists and researchers who offered their response to the paper before opening up the session to questions and answers. Presenters included:
Dr Anna Arnstein-Kerslake
Professor Dan Goodley
Georgia Katsikis
Dr Paul Ramcharan
Dr Karen Soldatic
Dr Claire Spivakovsky
