Abstract

Rather than seeing a student’s classroom, workroom, lecture hall, and lab as a singular person’s situation or place, the authors of this chapter propose seeing and thinking conceptually about spatial-dimensional multiplicities for identities. That is seeing various coextensive situations and sites both out and indoors (where ‘doors’ may also be ‘walls’) as activities and areas not pre-bounded or specified for particular individual purposes, and thinking about these by bringing different mind-views to conceptualising collaborative activities in spaces as complex knowledge generating affects.
