About this book
Reviews
“The diversity of perspectives assembled in this collection demonstrates the range of thought and action that stem from encounters with place, while also reinforcing the pivotal role place plays, and should play, in everyone's learning.” (David A. Greenwood, Canada Research Chair and Director, Center for Place and Sustainability Studies, Lakehead University, Ontario, Canada)
“As a lifelong educator in higher education, I heartily recommend this book. Shannon and Galle have assembled here a wide range of voices that imaginatively re-inscribe place in the academic curriculum. And as a liberal arts teacher and scholar, I found the book's focus on the social sciences, humanities, and the physical and life sciences to lead naturally to finding the deep interconnections between the disciplines.” (Davita Silfen Glasberg, Professor of Sociology and Interim Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, University of Connecticut, USA )
“This book is an intriguing collection of essays by accomplished scholar-teachers. Their thoughtful engagement with teaching and its intimate connection to the many different kinds of places that teaching occurs will provide a valuable source of reflection for educators, particularly those in higher education. This volume will no doubt set the stage for debates to come on the role of place within educational institutions.” (Kenneth L. Anderson, Professor of Philosophy and Dean of Academic Affairs, Oxford College of Emory University, USA)
“Shannon and Galle’s volume fills a much-needed gap in the educational literature on place. They ask scholars to define carefully, and in some cases, re-define place in a playful engagement useful for teachers of all ages who want to consider how place might be integrated into our approaches to teaching and learning.” (Abraham P. DeLeon, Associate Professor of Social Foundations, University of Texas at San Antonio, USA)
