About the author

Simon Ceder is lecturer in Education at Konstfack, University of Arts, Crafts and Design, and co-founder of the Swedish think tank 'Relationsinstitutet'.

Summary

Towards a Posthuman Theory of Educational Relationality critically reads the intersubjective theories on educational relations and uses a posthuman approach to ascribe agency relationally to humans and nonhumans alike.

Additional text

"At a time when dominant western philosophy is being increasingly challenged for its narrow focus, Ceder furnishes us with an exciting and robust discussion on how other-than-human phenomena come to bear on education. This book is a timely addition to a growing theme that seeks to explain education in ways other than as simply a teacher-student relationship. I for one look forward to referring to Ceder’s book for my own research and teaching."

Dr Carl Mika, Associate Professor, Faculty of Education, University of Waikato.
