Chushan Wu
(Ph.D. Candidate, Curriculum and Instruction with a Minor in Visual Cultures)
Congratulations to Chushan Wu on her recent publications “The Politics and Infrastructures of Affect in the ‘Battle’” in Continuum: Journal of Media & Cultural Studies, “History of the present of the right to play, affective governance, and making exclusion in joy” in Critical Studies in Education, “Epistemic coloniality and politics of knowledge in punctuation marks reform” in Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, as well as she advances towards the completion of her doctoral dissertation Children’s Play with Joy and Happiness as Affective Governmentality: Fabricating (Dis)abilities and Exclusions.
Chushan Wu is a Ph.D. Candidate in Curriculum and Instruction at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her research draws on post-theories (post-structuralism/post-foundationalism/post-humanism/post-colonialism), affect theory, and visual culture studies to critically examine educational practices and objects. Her current focus is on problematizing the seemingly natural relations among childhood, play, and joy. However, her interests are not confined to a single direction but enjoys engaging with diverse subjects, objects, and phenomena in education and contemporary life.
