Developing Practice With Breakout Rooms: A Diffracted Intra-Active Reading for Professional Development

Abstract
Adopting an agential realist perspective, this study reads data from a literature search into breakout rooms through the theory of intra-action and the researcher's experiences working as an EAP teacher across universities in the UK during the COVID-19 pandemic. This chapter is also an exploration of how a diffractive grating theory approach can help promote a closer reading of data, theory, and experience to inform professional development. The resulting conversation discusses points of wonder ranging from an active learning bias to increases in planning time, advice for giving instructions, and the importance of a good monitor. Although the chapter starts philosophically, the results are orientated more to the practitioner. It is hoped that the resulting conversations around the researcher's practice will help spur the reader into new and interesting areas for their own development.

A Radical More-Than-Human Intersectionality in Ecologically Compromised Times: Toward an Attunement to Nonhumans and Indigenous Knowledges
The mutual constitution of entangled agencies. An agent is anyone or anything that acts or engages in action. Intra-action therefore acknowledges the impossibility of absolute separation between bodies and thus subverts classical objectivity.

Trauma and Memory in Women's Photographic Practice: A Diffractive Posthuman Approach
Distinct from ‘interaction’, which suggests separate pre-established entities coming together and participating with each other, ‘intra-action’ proposes that agency is not an intrinsic or fixed property of entities, but enacted as a dynamism of forces. With intra-action ‘things’ are constantly in-process. As a critique of objectivity, intra-action between say an apparatus of measurement and the material measured, or between research and researcher, causes things to change or phenomena to emerge (see Barad, 2007 , pp. 139-141).
