(Re)Thinking and (Re)Imagining Social(ing) With a More

The aim of this manuscript is to (re)think and (re)imagine social as we work with(in) a more-than-human ontology so something(s) different can be thought/done.

However, I hope to at least open the conversation about social in a move toward overturning the normalized ways we have conceptualized and used the term. I propose socialing, which animates the lively relations of human, nonhuman, and more-than-humans producing socials. The article ends by discussing how and why it matters that researchers (re)conceptualize the notion of social
