DESCRIPTION:Pedagogy is often depicted in current educational policy as a 
 process of knowledge transmission from teacher to student. This presentati
 on explores a notion of pedagogy that instead places transformation and re
 lationality at the centre of its processes. In particular\, I discuss how 
 transformation occurs through: a) our narratives in relation to the world\
 ; b) our actions in the world\; c) and our bodily entanglements with the w
 orld. Drawing on the philosophies of Adriana Cavarero\, Hannah Arendt\, Ju
 dith Butler as well as some feminist materialists\, I explore diverse ways
  of conceiving of these intersections.  Whilst these different theoretical
  lenses sit in tension with one another\, my aim is to explore how they en
 able a dynamic conception of pedagogy as a process of change and renewal\,
  moving beyond how it is usually understood as a teaching and learning of 
 content.\n\nSharon Todd is Professor of Education at Maynooth University.
