Abstract
This paper brings together the theory of the uncanny as it emerges in cultural theory, with an
understanding of the uncanniness and troublesomeness seen to be inherent in certain
understandings of teaching and learning in higher education. Drawing on research into students’
experiences of learning in virtual worlds, it explores the potential for teaching in such spaces to
materialise and extend the positive aspects of uncertainty, strangeness, disquietude and
troublesomeness in online higher education.
