Rural Space, Place, and Education: A Critical Pedagogy of Rural Place
Sun, April 15, 2:45 to 4:15pm, Millennium Broadway New York Times Square, Floor: Eighth Floor, Gallery 8Abstract
The spatial turn within the social sciences has brought attention to the ways that space, its construction and use, impacts local lives, identities, and realities. In this theoretical paper, I attempt to integrate these spatial understandings into a critical pedagogy of place model. The paper posits that the places that rural students live in are affected by the rural space that they occupy. From this premise, the paper extends a critical pedagogy of place model to accommodate for spatial effects on rural places and students. This paper informs teaching practice by suggesting ways that rural teachers can, and should, engage students with space.
