Reviews

Pedagogies: Storylines and Storyspaces compels us to engage with and critically examine the complex and multi-faceted social practice that is pedagogy. Theoretically driven but practice oriented, this resource is framed by a commitment to teaching in socially-just ways.

Dr Amanda Keddie (The University of Queensland)

This is a particularly important book, not only because of its focus on the power of narrative as an avenue for professional development, but because of the manner in which the author links the narratives that “call us into being” with the invitation she extends to the reader to reflect upon her or his own concrete personal/professional experiences. It is a significant addition to the body of literature whose intent is to inspire to act.

Dr Jon Austin (University of Southern Queensland)

Nayler introduces the reader to post-structural feminist theorising in an easily accessible way that encourages teachers to theorise their practices and experiences.

Associate Professor Martin Mills (The University of Queensland)

This research has really empowered me as a teacher. ‘Jemma’ (a teacher whose narrative is featured in this book) Nayler engages the reader in innovative ways by inviting her/him to illuminate and articulate personal positionings and consider them in relation to those articulated by the author as part of her learning journey.

Professor Diane Mayer (University of California at Berkeley)

I highly recommend this compelling book to any educator regardless of experience.
