About his lecture:
The Articulation of Place and Public Pedagogy for Enhancing Global Associations
There has been much discussion about the purpose of place and space over the past decade due to a host of global trends. In thinking of placemaking, we are tasked to understand that endeavors and interactions transcend the material dimension and involves aspects such as sociability, uses, activities, access, connections, comfort, and image, to create bonds between people and a sense of place. Specific topics will include:
- Expanding the spatial imaginary in the “new city”
- Contemplating public pedagogies and learning opportunities “outside the walls”
- Confronting childism for the purpose of improving humanity and justice
The presentation will conclude with implications for professionals to consider placemaking approaches as a means for inquiry, disruption, and reconciliation.
