How and why did three PhD fellows become feminist posthumanist scholars within the field of music education research? Drawing on Karen Barad's theorising of phenomena, not pre-existing entities, as the primary ontological unit and on Rosi Braidotti's concept of the nomadic subject, we explore our research subjectivities as they are becoming in and…
