Tracking Self into Place

Authors

Abstract

In an effort to figure out what it means to educate ‘ecologically' I decided to track down some of the stories that I was living, telling and making as an educator. I ended up lost in the house of environmental education, stuck within the rooms of ecological science and political advocacy. Outside on the lawn sat the story of place based education. As I listened to the story of place I began to embrace complexity and wonder as pedagogical tools in my practice. Come join as I attempt to track myself into place.
