<i>Relational Pedagogies</i> is novel and innovative, developing a theory-practice for pedagogical matterings in higher education. Focusing on relationships with students, others, theories of relationality and sociomateriality, and drawing on key thinkers in pedagogy, care ethics, Indigenous and Black feminist scholarship, this book is an important read for lecturers and students.

Karen Gravett’s argument regarding the interwoven web of relations—between and among humans and with/in the material world—challenges us to re-understand “matter” as both who and what matters as/in relation. The “radical relationality” she offers could transform our understanding of and practice in higher education and being more broadly.

<i>Relational Pedagogies</i> is a rousing book that provides a means for resurfacing often forgotten questions, thinking with different theories and encouraging us to engage various others as we work to address issues of relationality, connection and mattering in meaningful ways ... [It]is a valuable contribution to and point of departure from the global field of mainstream higher education literature, offering a refreshing and revitalising perspective.
