63.054 - Mapping A/r/tography: Walking for Place-Conscious Pedagogies of Practice

Mon, April 8, 10:25 to 11:55am, Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel, Floor: Second Floor, Wentworth

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Drawing from ongoing work of the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada funded ‘Mapping A/r/tography’ international partnership, panelists share cartographies of transnational storytelling through a/r/tography, specifically movement (walking/hiking/trekking) and the critical creation of images, performances, and texts. The objective of this symposium is to offer a model from which researchers can work across geographic scales and create a collective imaginary of proactive cultural exchange and relationship building through a/r/tographic encounters. The intersection of a/r/tography as research methodology, walking as mode of inquiry, and place-consciousness as critical pedagogy is explored as a way to transcend and expand the borders of education to become more emergent, transnational, and transcultural in the 21st century.
