Planning in an Era of Polycrisis
Problem, research strategy, and findings Social and climate injustices are deepening as climate disasters, affordable housing emergency, and economic precarity disproportionately affect marginalized communities. Legacies of racialized exclusion and housing financialization in the United States and Canada compound these crises, demanding an evolution in equity planning. We have synthesized research on climate action, urban inequities, and green ge…
Tensions with Intangible Cultural Heritage in Urban Foodways
In 2020, Singapore’s hawker culture was designated as “intangible cultural heritage of humanity” by UNESCO to affirm and promote the country’s distinctive food culture. Hawkers were once immigrant street food vendors, but today are required to operate out of stalls in government-owned markets—called hawker centres—that serve as the essential ‘community dining rooms’ of everyday life in the city-state. This paper focuses on tensions and struggles …
Evaluating Environmental Education Programs Using a Qualitative GIS Approach
Environmental education (EE) programs commonly emphasize experiencing the place(s) where a program is located. Yet, program evaluations seldom map locations where participants demonstrate outcomes, whether during or after program experiences. To explore the value of including location in program assessment, we pilot a qualitative, map-based analysis to complement current evaluation efforts of an organization providing EE programs aimed at improvi…
Exploring Relationality Among Children's Place Attachments in Their Experiences of a New Place
In an increasingly mobile and global context, children construct meanings through experiencing an array of places in their lives, potentially forming a basis for place attachments. In this study, we explore how a group of 27 children (ages 10 to 14) in Denver, Colorado, value ordinary places where they have some level of attachment; we then identify which values they draw upon in initial experiences of a new, out-of-the-ordinary place. Using phot…
The Impact of Covid-19 Lockdowns on Youth Relationships with Nature
Youth relationships with nature are profoundly influenced by their day-to-day interactions with people and places. Here, we explored whether abrupt spatial restrictions imposed by COVID-19 lockdowns impacted how/where youth relate with nature. We compared "story maps" created by two groups of youth—before and during lockdown—which combined geographically referenced locations, images, and descriptions about relationships with nature, supplemented …
Drawing on knowledge
Counter-narratives to dominant development discourses are made possible using research methods designed to elicit marginalized voices. In this article, we propose a new analytical framework called the interpretive schema for drawings for analyzing visual narratives. The interpretive schema for drawings consists of five themes or interpretive lenses ( scale, centrality, inclusion, connections, and relationality) that were generated from maps of fu…
Engaging children to voice their sense of place through location-based story making with photo-story maps
Sense of place is neither linear nor rooted in time. One way for children to voice their sense of place is through location-based stories with plots structured in space, rather than time. Since mobile devices are already ingrained in the everyday lives of many children in the U.S., a mobile application offers a familiar medium to engage children in location-based story making. Here, we present photo-story maps, our approach to leveraging an exist…
Using Photography to Visualize Children's Culture of Play
Visual methodologies have great potential to offer insight into children's culture and how it shapes childhood. We explore children's culture of play in an urban, low‐income neighborhood using photographs as a means of encouraging participatory research with elementary school students. Focus group interviews were conducted to validate children's perspectives on play, and all data were analyzed inductively using open coding to develop categories a…
On agendas and perspectives in environmental education
Visual methodology as a pedagogical research tool in geography education
This article offers an overview of visual methodology and its applications to geography in higher education. Drawings from an undergraduate mapping and map analysis course are used to concurrently highlight and deconstruct students' sense of place in the context of teaching and learning. As a pedagogical research tool, visual methods nurture self-reflection in learners, inform curriculum and instruction for diverse classrooms, and support the con…
Multiculturalism in Environmental Science
Students' perceptions of the environment can differ based on sociocultural factors and experiences. Understanding how students develop environmental perceptions is an important step toward developing an inclusive environmental science curriculum. This article presents preliminary data from a study conducted in Singapore in which students' environmental perceptions were elicited through a series of draw-and-explain tasks and personal interviews. I…
