Tricks and Erasers: Disruption as Performance Pedagogy

In Chapter 5 Tricks and Erasers: Disruption as Performance Pedagogy I consider how performative pedagogy, seen through a new lens, reveals that what we might consider to be disruptive and so should challenge established power relations is perhaps maintaining the status quo.

I introduce the idea that disruption can be the ultimate critical thinking tool and invite a call for action for the tutors deploying the Trickster archetype to be conscious of the micro-disruptions and interruptions that they deploy and that might in fact be maintaining the power of expert ideology.
