Relational and Multimodal Higher Education - Digital, Social and Environmental Perspectives

This book proposes a relational turn in higher education by conceptualizing knowledge and pedagogy as relational and multimodal, analysed 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 emphasises 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, paying special attention to caring and imaginative interactions, interpretation, and emotions. 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, highlighting 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, multimodality and futures studies.
