Curating Learning Journeys - Transformational Experiences in the IR Classroom and Beyond

This is an open access book that invites exploration into learning journeys as they unfold in, through and beyond the thinking space of a critically oriented postgraduate International Relations theory course. Drawing on the transformational potential of writing and creative research practice both in the classroom and the reflexive writing of this book, the project considers how we sense and make sense while navigating the lived experiences of academic study and world politics as asymmetrically positioned co-travellers. It narrates and theorizes three transformational writing processes that work with our relationships to self, other and world, inspiring care, curiosity, and other ways of knowing and being-together. The book provides conceptual and practice-based resources for rethinking and creatively engaging with the politics and transformational possibilities of pedagogy as acts of curation in the field, contemporary higher education, and everyday life.
