Geographies of Alternative Education: Diverse Learning Spaces for Children and Young People

Autor Peter Kraftl
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 noi 2014
One of the first book-length explorations of alternative learning spaces outside mainstream education, Geographies of Alternative Education offers a comparative analysis of alternative education in the UK, focusing on learning spaces that cater to children and young people. Using original research conducted at over fifty learning spaces, it demonstrates the importance of a geographical lens for understanding alternative education. In doing so, it develops new theories on autonomy, emotion and affect, intergenerational relations, and a number of other topics.

Recenzii

“Organised thematically, the book conveys a feeling of careful distillation. . . . a complex path that carefully lays out a rhizomatic integration of the social and spatial. . . . the book has a broad range, useful as a way of scoping the field.”

“The book’s appeal is its recognition of diverse economic and autonomous practices, non-representational geographies, and the politics of life-itself, which, combined, dismantle any sense of a simple binary between ‘alternative’ and ‘mainstream’ education.”

“Scholars, educators, and policy makers will find this to be a valuable resource given that it is a hopeful theoretical and political project around education and learning.”

"An outstanding critical analysis of youth policy that puts geography centre-stage. Drawing on diverse case studies, the book interweaves theory and practice—listening to and informing practitioner, academic and young people's perspectives."

"Kraftl and his colleagues bring together a fine collection of essays that highlight the importance of scales, spaces, places and networks to the ways in which policies about young people are created and put into practice. At its core, this book is about the relevance of studying children's geographies. It adds an important policy dimension to the growing literature on children's geographies, arguing that discourses on policy are almost always spatialized. One of the most exciting aspects of this book comes from a focus in some chapters on how policy can take place through the agency of young people. "

"How a nation treats its youth determines how those young people will treat their nation. This skilfully edited text critically and theoretically interrogates the complex spatialities of youth and education policies; invaluable reading for those working with, and caring for, children and young people."
