Critical Commentary

In this conversation with Maggie O’Neill, Karen Lawson and Jerry O’Neill, we will explore why walking is fundamental to our way of being: a restorative space for conversations; a connection to the landscape and history; but also an opportunity for transforming learning. The walking classroom provides a rich opportunity to disrupt the traditional classroom, offering embodied, relational and reflective processes that can create a different, and even dissonant, learning and teaching experience. The critically-infused knowledge that can emerge may just be the catalyst for the kind of perspective shifts needed for transforming education.
