Abstract: This special issue seeks to breathe new life into the act of teaching and re-open fundamental questions about what it means to teach. It is an invitation to move beyond technocratic questions of what constitutes a good teacher, exploring instead ontologies of being and becoming a teacher that emerge in the complex relations between teaching and thinking. These ontological questions contrast the neoliberal preoccupation with standardised competencies of the good teacher in terms of highly efficient, and increasingly datafied, acts of teaching geared towards the effective achievements of measurable learning outcomes and standards. The special edition therefore calls for rethinking teaching with reference to ontologies of being and becoming with a world in process, rather than acquiring and transmitting knowledge about the world as preformed.
