Place

Place (or place-making) is an extremely useful point of departure for creating civic pedagogies that render places and spaces beyond the classroom legible for students, educators, policymakers as well as for resident associations and the communities themselves. 

Using spaces and places to understand lived experience brings people and their attachments into play with larger, more abstract determinants of identity, whether urban, rural, regional, or national. Here WALKING, SEEING & MAPPING are important exercises.
