Abstract
This paper contributes to decolonial horizons that challenge development studies and research within the neoliberal academy. It relies on autoethnographic positioning analysis, and a reflective reading of Freire’s critical pedagogy, and Lugones’s theory of active subjectivity and multiple selves, to explore Hull’s proposition of teaching and research as a trans-world activity. This involves reflexivity and analytical methods that incorporate questions of self and subjectivity in teaching and research. It offers trans-world teaching and research as a (1) a playful and loving way of being in the ‘world’, (2) an inversion of research and knowledge encounters and (3) a means to facilitate a sense of becoming.
