Kate Schick Te Herenga Waka-Victoria University of Wellington
Kate Schick is Associate Professor in International Relations at Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington. Her research lies at the intersection of critical theory and international ethics. She is particularly interested in the way critical theories highlight our mutual vulnerability and interdependence, and their countercultural critique of the pursuit of invulnerability and self-sufficiency. Kate is author of Gillian Rose: A Good Enough Justice (2012) and co-editor of Subversive Pedagogies: Radical Possibility in the Academy (with Claire Timperley, 2022), The Vulnerable Subject: Beyond Rationalism in International Relations (with Amanda Russell Beattie, 2013) and Recognition in Global Politics: Critical Encounters between State and World (with Patrick Hayden, 2016). Kate facilitates relational and caring pedagogical communities that foster deep learning, and her practice has been recognised via several teaching awards, including the Victoria University Teaching Excellence Award (2022) and the British International Studies Association Award for Distinguished Excellence in Teaching (with Claire Timperley, 2022).
