We at the UCL Centre for the Pedagogy of Politics (CPP) are excited to share with you the details of our second online panel event of the year on the theme of ‘Relational Pedagogies Inside and Outside the Classroom’.
It will include contributions from the following panellists alongside time for audience Q&A:

Claire Timperley, Senior Lecturer in Political Science, Te Herenga Waka-Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand
Karen Gravett, Associate Professor in Higher Education at the University of Surrey, UK
Regular readers will be aware of the work that Kate and Claire have recently published in this area, as summarised in their their September 2025 ALPS post on Spacious Learning in Political Science.
The event will run as a Teams webinar on Thursday 5th March, 4.00-5.00pm (GMT). If you would like to attend, please register beforehand on the following event page, whereupon you will receive access details: UCL Centre for the Pedagogy of Politics webinar: ‘Relational Pedagogies Inside and Outside the Classroom’.
We hope for a wide-ranging discussion on issues such as the benefits and challenges of relational pedagogy; different forms of relational pedagogies; discipline-specific considerations for relational pedagogy (especially the disciplines of political science/IR); relational pedagogy beyond the classroom, e.g., the role and importance of pastoral activities; institutional and cultural pre-requisites for effective relational pedagogy.
We look forward to seeing you there!
