Review Quotes:
"In conversation with a generous South African research community, an ethics of re-turning and staying-with is beautifully unfolded on agential realist philosophy and concepts and a diverse empirical material."
Malou Juelskjær, Danish School of Education, Aarhus University, Copenhagen, Denmark
"This innovative collection of essays brings Karen Barad's agential realism to life in the context of South African higher education. Drawing the reader in through playful, performative exchanges, the contributions creatively reimagine multidisciplinary research and rebuild pedagogical practices."
Astrid Schrader, University of Exeter, UK
"What does it mean to make agential realism a thinking, writing, and collaborative practice? The book addresses this question with immense care guided by deep concern for de/colonializing education in the South African context."
