The entanglement of place in the corporatised governance of schools: Thinking poetically with Barad
Drawing on Karen Barad's (2007) concepts of intra-action and the agential cut, this chapter employs a poetic inquiry approach situated in three multi-academy trusts in England, and through two agential cuts embodied in distinct poetic forms materialises how place entangles with governance policy, architecture, and actors to configure parental engagement, thereby repositioning place as a co-agentic participant in governance.
