关于通过将理论与实践结合在教学的“实践”中来弥合理论与实践之间的鸿沟的必要性，已经写了很多文章。对于受后人类主义理论启发的研究人员来说，弥合理论/实践鸿沟的任务特别具有挑战性，因为它伴随着抵抗自然/文化鸿沟的额外需要，这种鸿沟以“人类例外论”的名义使我们的人类物种与所有“地球其他人”“高度分离”（Plumwood，2002）。西方人文主义的基本性质/文化划分为我们以人为中心的实践提供了结构逻辑，在社会科学研究的绝对人文主义实践中去中心化人类的挑战不容低估。当这项研究被“应用”在“领域”时，或者换句话说，当它在学术界之外的世界中被实施时，挑战就变得更加复杂了。去中心化的理论化似乎要比实际行动容易得多，找到一致的、创新的方法来"测试新概念“（Lorimer，2010，第238页）。
Much has been written about the need to bridge the theory/practice divide by bringing them together in the ‘praxis’ of teaching. For researchers inspired by posthumanist theorizations, the task of bridging the theory/practice divide is particularly challenging because it is accompanied by the additional need to resist the nature/culture divide that keeps our human species ‘hyper-separated’ from all ‘earth others’ in the name of ‘human exceptionalism’ (Plumwood, 2002). The foundational nature/culture divide of Western humanism provides the structuring logic for our human-centric practices, and the challenge of decentring the human within the decidedly humanist practice of social science research cannot be underestimated. The challenge is compounded when this research is ‘applied’ in ‘the field’ — or, to put it another way, when it is enacted in the world beyond the academy. It seems much easier to theorize about decentring the human than to walk the talkand find congruent, innovative ways to ‘put new concepts to the test’ (Lorimer, 2010, p. 238).
