- Deconstructing the literary representation of humanism.
- Exploring texts that depict the human, the non-human, the transhuman and the inhuman.
- Reading a set of texts that cater for both primary and secondary school classrooms from a posthuman perspective by carrying forward a transdisciplinary approach to literature.
- Exploring Posthuman Pedagogy and its instrumental and formative contribution.
- Theory
• Human anthropocentrism vs. posthuman
• Posthumanism vs. Transhumanism
• The non-human, the inhuman, the anti-human
• Landscapes, territories and boundaries
• New Perspectivism

- Literature
• A set of literary texts to explore posthuman issues and turns: children’s literature, literary classics, texts in Englishes.

- Pedagogy
• Posthuman Pedagogy: helping learners engage critically and empathically
1) Presentation and discussion of how to approach Literatures in Englishes through posthuman approaches
