This book brings together scholars from a wide range of disciplines to creatively engage with
place in the context of pedagogy. Beginning with an exploration of traditional place-based
forms of education such as outdoor education travel courses and courses on sustainability
the authors go on to expand our popular notions of place including the classroom the campus
our interior selves and our digital ecosystems. This reconsideration of place-based education
represents not only an engagement of prior literature on pedagogy and place but also a
re-imagining of the role that place might play in education. Authors stretch the notion of
place arguing for a holistic approach to disciplines in the humanities social sciences and
natural sciences bringing into focus an array of contentious issues in philosophies and
methods of teaching for multiple academic disciplines and their many intersections.
