Offering a unique, interdisciplinary approach through integration of concepts from education, philosophy, social work, and the affective sciences, this volume provides a unique pedagogical perspective on how affectivity can become an educative opportunity in the classroom.
By foregrounding the importance of interactions occurring between more-than-human entities in and beyond classroom settings, the book promotes a socio-material approach to pedagogy. This emphasis on fostering learning environments where students and teachers feel valued, supported, and empowered distinguishes the book from other texts and aligns with contemporary educational and philosophical theories advocating for the significance of affect-based learning and relational pedagogies. Chapters engage the reader in processes of ‘thinking with theory’, drawing on data gathered from real-world educational settings via participative and collaborative research with teachers, students, and researchers.
Ultimately offering a compelling and multi-layered exploration of affect as a vital, yet often under-theorized, dimension of pedagogical practice, this book will be of value to researchers, postgraduates and scholars in the fields of Classroom Practice, theories of learning, and curriculum studies more broadly.
Offering a unique, interdisciplinary approach through integration of concepts from education, philosophy, social work, and the affective sciences, this volume provides a unique pedagogical perspective on how affectivity can become an educative opportunity in the classroom.
