Omschrijving
This book draws together theories, research, and practice on knowledges and pedagogies of place across educational settings.
"This diverse, thought-provoking and carefully curated collection provides a significant series of insights into the sheer diversity of ways in which place can be conceptualised in educational settings. It examines the active role of land and landscapes, humans and nonhumans, understood through diverse theoretical frameworks. Importantly, chapters highlight both everyday, emotional and embodied engagements with places as much as the ways in which power and politics may be at play in learning spaces. Drawing on diverse case studies from around the world, the book as a whole also extends beyond the more ‘familiar’ settings in which place might be considered – such as outdoor learning – to attend to issues such as technology, language and media. A key strength of the book is in the collaborative approach to writing chapters – across different contexts and forms of expertise – in a way that foregrounds truly diverse encounters with place that should be generative for scholars, educators, policy-makers and practitioners looking for inspiration as to the many ways in which place matters to, and in, education settings."
