In doing so, we aim to activate a theoretical framework for sensing childhood\u2019s resonances, even after the project of \u2018growing up\u2019 is deemed complete.\u202fBecause sound can hold disavowed feelings, we highlight\u202fthe non-indexicality of sonicity and position it as the elaboration of racial formations that are not inconsequential to the child\u2019s ego formation. We consider some of the quiet sounds and minor sensations of childhood that defy racist diagnoses which seek to ruin the full potential of a child\u2019s future. At times, this means we approach sounds as containers for what has been lost but not dissuaded by its lack of welcome. Our analysis is grounded in the work of artist Tarik Kiswanson, who helps us consider the endurance of childhood.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Inconsolable Wounds: An Aesthetic-Educational Response to the \u2018Cruel Obstacles\u2019 of Environmental<\/strong><strong> Breakdown<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sharon Todd<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a necessary imperative in this time of mass extinctions, climate emergencies, and biodiversity loss for education to find a way to respond; but how does it find its way without either falling into utter despair or holding on to an impossible sense of hope? Confronting what Britzman refers to as \u2018cruel obstacles\u2019 that have become too much to bear \u2013 and bear witness to \u2013 requires a movement of thought and affect that breaks away from either a (re)turn to certitudes or a (re)animation of utopic visions as acts of consolation. Following Britzman, it is instead the space of inconsolability that can generate possibilities for something else to happen. It is a space where we touch and are touched by the world in ways that allow for the experiencing of the wounds of living while also co-creating new beginnings and healings. Both art and education move in this Britzmanian space, seeking not to offer definitive answers but forms of inquiry, compassion and interconnection that point to the psychosocial and environmental bonds through which we are entangled with human and more than human others. This presentation seeks to engage the audience in this space of inconsolability through an encounter that focuses both on word and image, juxtaposing artwork that is a response to our current environmental wounds alongside my own spoken prose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Psychic Terrain of Political Expression on University Campuses&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Eve Haque<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Questions of free expression and academic freedom have always been a fraught site of contestation on university campuses. Although these questions have become more high stakes and publicly visible in the past year, they have always been at the heart of the core knowledge building and exchange function of universities. In recent years, the increasing profile of politically charged speech in and of the university has given rise to myriad forms of institutional codes of conduct, policies and guidelines and even state legislations as a mechanism to manage and control various forms of speech and expressive activity on campuses. In this paper, I want to explore the psychic terrain of these processes; specifically, what is at stake in the desire both for and against certain forms of expression particularly on the university campus site and beyond by various university actors, such as students, faculty, staff and administrators. These escalating concerns and controls around free speech and academic freedom on our university campuses erase what Jill Gentile (2024) identifies as the void of the \u201csignifying gap\u201d thereby threatening academic freedom and giving rise to the polarization and chilling of speech in the academy and beyond (np). Thus, these contestations are marked by contradictory desires and anxieties and their significance is claimed by the harms that they purport to name and contain. Ultimately, this past year has indicated that struggles around speech, academic freedom and other forms of expression on university campuses are not going away anytime soon and therefore require our attention.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1\">1:00-2:45: Lightning Presentations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cI do not know how to teach\u201d&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>David L. Clark&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do not know how to teach. Part of teaching, the most important part, beyond all the talk of gaining competences and perfecting practices, is, I argue, not knowing how to teach. And it is important to shelter a place for that experience of not-knowing how to teach or even knowing what teaching is in every classroom in which I discover myself. Each educational relation calls for a radical openness to the insurgency of not knowing how to teach. My brief paper is inspired by Briztman: \u201cWhat is left to think is the impossibility of our work, not so much from the place of its failure or the adequacy of technique but rather from within the areas of conflict, where our work is most incomplete, and where we are surprised by what we do not really know.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Public Memory of the Air India Bombings, Difficult Knowledge, and Mourning Play&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Angela Failler<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An Angus Reid poll released in June 2023 suggests that most Canadians know very little or nothing about the 1985 Air India bombings, and that the event is fading from Canadians\u2019 collective memory. My research relies on Britzman and Pitt\u2019s concept of \u201cdifficult knowledge\u201d to understand why the bombings have not been incorporated into the national imaginary despite being considered \u201cCanada\u2019s worst encounter with terrorism\u201d by some public authorities. Through the lens of difficult knowledge, official gestures of commemoration can be seen as reaction-formations working to disassociate Canada from this and other state-implicated violences, contributing to public forgetting. I turn, then, to a creative counter-archive wherein artists \u2013 many of whom lost relatives in the bombings \u2013 use \u201cmourning-play\u201d (Bassin 1993) as a means of remembrance. Mourning play, I argue, both resists the foreclosures of official memory and opens alternate possibilities for connection and hope in the bombings\u2019 ongoing wake.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Difficult Knowledges of Contagious Diseases<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Penelope Ironstone<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deborah Britzman\u2019s work on \u201cdifficult knowledges\u201d has been influential in thinking I have attempted to do alongside and as afterthought to and around a number of disease challenges since the 1990s. These have included HIV\/AIDS, the subject of my dissertation, SARS 2003, H1N1 and H5N1 influenza, Ebola, and, more recently, COVID. In my work I have found myself returning to Britzman\u2019s work in order to ask questions about the times, spaces, and subjectivities that are deployed in response to crisis, looking to what representational practices tell us about the \u201cnew editions of old conflicts\u201d they act out and, at times, attempt to work through. I am particularly interested in resistances to the information of contagious disease. Resistances and refusals tell us a lot about the thoughts that thought cannot tolerate, as do constructions that aim to contain pandemic recognitions in a not me, not here, not now of disavowal.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reading the Relational in Education Governance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lauren Jervis<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea of an impossible profession affects us because it proposes a constitutive discontinuity, a lack the profession represses, negates, and projects into others. The impossible professions are a terrible remainder of what is most incomplete, arbitrary, and archaic in us and in the events of working with others. (Britzman, 2009, pp. 129-130)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deborah Britzman\u2019s reading of Sigmund Freud\u2019s formulation of the impossible professions offers an unsettling frame through which to view the limitations and failures of three fields - education, governance, and medicine - that think very highly of themselves. In this presentation, I will offer a short meditation on the world of education governance that considers how the narcissism of policy-making that aims to fix problems in public education (and frequently fails to do so) is a symptom of the \u201cconstitutive discontinuity\u201d to which Britzman refers in the quotation above. Focusing on the problem of authority within the professions of education and governance, I will suggest that relationality is both an ever-present threat to contemporary notions of professionalism that affect the world of education policy while also being the thing that makes the work of education, and its governance, meaningful. Reading the relational back into education governance means reading professionalism against itself, because \u201cthe impossible professions take pride in their altruism, or their neutrality, or their objectivity\u201d (Britzman, 2009, p. 129). However, unearthing the humanity behind and within education policy provides an opportunity to imagine forms of governance that, through being more in touch with their conflicts and failures, are also more humane in their exercise of authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Remains of a Song&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>David Lewkowich<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTo think about our theory of theory the best material is the most unbelievable\u201d (Britzman, 2012, p. 44)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnxiety anticipates that a great deal will be lost should something more be thought and brings, through phantasies of learning and teaching, the emotional logic of resistance to theory.

Following from literature's potential incredulity, I will reference Jean Genet\u2019s (1988) dreamy account of experiencing the material world \u201cdecay\u201d (p. 10) in an instant of uninvited social dissolve, to Ocean Vuong\u2019s (2016) impossible entry into the mouth of a smoker, to my own experiences trembling along with vestiges of control in the classroom, which happens often, but never so strikingly as when I turn to my students and sing, with an unexpectedly unpretty voice. Thinking seriously about what is sweat as my classroom momentarily adopts the guise of \u201cthe steam room of affect\u201d (Britzman, 2012, p. 50), I will leave on this terrible note of quivering song, emphasizing the courage and compassion I have often found in Britzman\u2019s work.\u202f \u202f \u202f\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Returning to \u201cPractice Makes Practice\u201d&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jun Lu<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This presentation will revisit Professor Britzman\u2019s initial publication, <em>Practice Makes Practice<\/em> (1991\/2003), in order to examine the significance of the phrase \u201cpractice makes practice\u201d within a clinical setting. As a trainee in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, I am exploring how to punctuate experience and make meaning from experience in two contexts: one involves working and talking with clients in the clinic room, while the other pertains to the whole process of learning how to be a therapist. Furthermore, I would like to examine the tension between knowing and not knowing in clinical work and explore its connection to the continuous process of \u201cpractice makes practice\u201d rather than \u201cpractice makes perfect.\u201d Given that the therapist cannot to know everything about the client and their journey in the therapy, the challenge lies in how to work on the in-betweenness of knowing\/not knowing and sustain the vitality of the therapeutic relationship.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Laughing of the Britzman&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Susanne Luhmann&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I return to a memory of Professor Britzman laughing to herself while writing.&nbsp;Memory being an unreliable narrator, I cannot be certain whether this image results from a conversation I shared with Professor Britzman, an anecdote related to me by somebody else, or even is something I made up entirely.&nbsp;I consider what I call \u201cthe laughter of the Britzman\u201d in relation to what she, in the 1996 article \u201cOn Becoming a \u2018Little Sex Researcher,\u2019\u201d refers to as \u201cpleasure without utility,\u201d which is how she defines perversity (385). In the article, Britzman is concerned with the normalizing force of the three \u201cimpossible professions,\u201d when she writes:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut in the insistence that pleasure be confined to utility, the work of the apparatuses of education, law, and medicine becomes preoccupied with normalizing sexuality \u2026 In normative developmental models of education, sex education becomes preoccupied with posing, as a problem, the specification of the proper object and with rewarding those subjects who desire the interdictions of morality and the state apparatus\u201d (385).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Britzman\u2019s observations regarding the confinement of pleasure arguably issues an invitation to orient towards \u201cpleasure without utility\u201d and to ask what it might mean for progressive and feminist education. What might it mean, rather than defining proper objects and moral stances, to take pleasure in what is difficult, in that which makes us most vulnerable in our work, and to attach differently to and be interested in these difficulties? And maybe to laugh while thinking and writing?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Notes from a Train Ride<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bianca Rus&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNotes from a train ride\u201d\u202fis a creative writing piece that\u202fpresents some of Deborah Britzman's ideas as a journey through various \"archaeological sites\" of educational and psychoanalytic thought, emphasizing the transformative potential of engaging with otherness and uncertainty in education. It starts with a quick visit of the Acropolis, and goes on to excavate some of Freud\u2019s archives on language and the unconscious, to meet Deborah\u2019s high-school monsters. From there, the journey takes us swiftly to revisit some of Deborah\u2019s reworking of Togashi\u2019s, Caper\u2019s, Derrida\u2019s, and Arendt\u2019s concepts, to arrive at our final destination, which promises a \u201cwarm pedagogy.\u201d This imaginary itinerary hopes to highlight what is needed to take a second chance at education.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Britzman The Sophist<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Carl Anders S\u00e4fstr\u00f6m<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe difference between mere circumstances and lived experience is our capacity to bestow experience with meanings, be reflexive, and take action.

Britzman (1991).<em> Practice Makes Practice. A Critical Study of Learning to Teach<\/em>. Suny Press.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The quote is from the profoundly influential book <em>Practice Makes Practice<\/em>. While this book worked promptly and precisely and clarified what is at stake in teaching teachers, it also spoke directly to my theoretical interests. Still, I just realised, recently, how it also speaks fundamentally to a Sophist tradition of thought and, as such, touches upon a radically different educational practice than the Platonian-Aristotelian-Kantian orthodoxy dominating educational thought and practice today. What particularly signals this in the quote, and which extends beyond the \u2018pragmatist\u2019 stance, is the focus on meaning.

Like so much in her writing, this deceptively simply sentence raises questions about the very nature of affect, the definitions and margins of subjectivity, how language creates and sustains a self, and how we bring what is intensely private to very public educational spaces and somehow survive. What is the role of the unconscious in that survival?

I will highlight some heartfelt, humorous moments I shared with Deborah at this time while drawing attention to her chapter on \u201cMonsters in Literature\u201d (Britzman, 2006) from A Novel Education. The overarching thematic of this presentation will address remembering and \u201cworking through\u201d (Freud, 1914) monsters. It will reference personal communication with Deborah regarding my unfortunate interest in studying human monsters, which is being taken up today in research concerning the human-caused sixth mass extinction (Spector, 2023).

In my discussion, affect is a constant theme that predictably acts to break open educational encounters with colleagues, patients, and those learning a profession of caring. I&nbsp; lean heavily on psychoanalytic orientations to arrive at the fault lines of education where pretending becomes practice, difficult knowledge runs amuck, and the uncertainties, including the frailty of my own self as a resource for the mind, often constitute the very educational myths I need to tackle as obstacles to practice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bon Travail: Gender and Madness at the Far End of the Developmental Arc&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Susan Searls Giroux<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This paper explores what Deborah Britzman has termed \u201cthe gendered afterlife of our fact of dependency\u201d in the context of some reflections on a number of self-identified female Clients who report anxiety in approaching the end of their working lives.&nbsp;Theories of development\u2014like histories of development\u2014track young women\u2019s movement into adulthood.

In unpacking each narrative as unique figurations of transitioning, I show how each gives us a foothold into a new way of imagining gender. I argue that by reading memoirs the analyst enters a world that is theirs and not theirs.

Anchored by Britzman\u2019s insights, I explore species loneliness, and introduce a \u201ccurriculum of extinction\u201d (Eppert, 2024) that poses psychoanalytic questions of remembrance, literary engagement, self\/other relations, time\u2019s vicissitudes, and the ongoing, thoughtful labour \u201cof having to make education from experiences never meant to be educative\u201d (Britzman, 2003, p. 150).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cThe things left behind\u201d: Atomic Archives and Oppenheimer Affects\u202f&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sara Matthews<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where is the atomic, now?
