About the Book

This book proposes a relational turn in higher education by conceptualizing knowledge and pedagogy as relational and multimodal, analyzed through three dimensions of relationality: social, technological, and environmental. The volume draws on interdisciplinary approaches that make a case for integrating these interconnected and distinct dimensions in higher education theory and practice. Its novelty lies in combining such a variety of perspectives with Peircean semiotics to explore what it means to learn and live relationally. It emphasizes the importance of critical reflection, rooted in an environmental understanding of knowledge and digital media. This approach integrates materiality, place, and space in higher education, positioning caring, critically reflective and imaginative interactions and interpretations as central for knowledge growth. The volume features practical case studies of relational pedagogy through dialogues with diverse higher education practitioners, which embrace expression and creation through more than one dominant modality of communication and being. The book envisions students and educators as relational agents, with relational awareness and responsibility, aware of their multimodal identities. It highlights how a relational multimodal paradigm can serve as a way forward for universities to address global challenges concerning social, (post)digital, and environmental futures. This innovative book will be of interest to scholars, students, teachers, and policymakers in higher education, semiotics and multimodality, as well as postdigital, sociomaterial and futures studies.

Review :
"This book responds to some of the most pressing issues of our times in and for education. Although it is targeted towards higher education, the understated reach of this volume has implications for all ages and spheres of learning. Important messages concerning the relationality of all things in our contemporary world are artfully wrapped up in a relational membrane that invites age-old principles concerning ethics, self-other and social justice into the midst of rapid digital advancements and new forms of ‘otherness’ now entering the educational milieu (...) This is indeed a book for our times." Source: https://pesaagora.com/columns/relational-and-multimodal-higher-education-digital-social-and-environmental-perspectives-by-natasa-lackovic-and-alin-olteanu/ - Professor Jayne White, University of Canterbury "Relational and Multimodal Higher Education urges its audience to think beyond the discipline and beyond the self as hitherto conceived. This book, with all its hopes, is also a sustained critique of the quotidian monologic tyranny that we encounter in late capitalism. While it is so multifariously regrettable that the academy, in its very institution, has become a key player and stakeholder in capitalist monologism, this book sees a way out." Source: Cobley, P.
