Kate Schick is Senior Lecturer in International Relations at Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. Her teaching and research interests lie at the intersection of critical theory and international ethics. She is author of Gillian Rose: A Good Enough Justice (2012) and co-editor of The Vulnerable Subject: Beyond Rationalism in International Relations (with Amanda Russell Beattie, 2013), Recognition in Global Politics: Critical Encounters between State and World (with Patrick Hayden, 2016), and Subversive Pedagogies: Radical Possibility in the Academy(with Claire Timperley, 2022).
The volume calls on international-relations instructors to make use of “subversive pedagogies” — ones that embrace a more holistic understanding of teaching. It invites academics to interrogate what we teach, how we teach, where we teach, and whom we teach.
