Defining the principles and practices of walking as critical pedagogy, this book engages with social questions and challenges related to understandings of the Anthropocene.

Through a series of chapters that operationalize walking as a form of participatory pedagogy, it explores issues including migration and borders, sustainability and climate change, gender and feminist thought, the labour market, crime and rehabilitation, and urban life and regeneration. Showing how walking enables us to learn creatively, convivially and critically on the move in city spaces, while thinking relationally, the authors demonstrate the importance of space, time and place: the layers of history embedded in the present, and the importance of active, embodied, participatory, collaborative, creative and place based learning.

A pioneering approach to walking as a form of engagement and learning, Walking as Critical Pedagogy will appeal to researchers and students across the social sciences interested in new methods and research methodologies, and creative ways of teaching and learning about – and engaging with – major global issues in society.

‘This sparkling, accessible collection makes a significant and unique contribution to academic discussions about walking as critical pedagogy. In their different approaches to roaming through the layered historical palimpsest of the city and its vital, myriad spaces, the authors, students and other participants experience, conceive and imagine the city otherwise, disclosing a wealth of sensory, theoretical and historical insights. In attuning to the pedestrian experiences of forgotten and overlooked urban inhabitants - women, migrants, the unemployed and recently incarcerated – this book offers an interdisciplinary and inclusive approach that foregrounds lived experiences and avoids theoretical and methodological purism.’

- Tim Edensor, Emeritus Professor of Social and Cultural Geography at the Institute of Place Management, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK

'Walking as Critical Pedagogy brings a fascinating set of experiences and perspectives from applying walking methods to understand the City from collaborative processes. In critical dialogue with the legacy of Paulo Freire, this book creatively shows the possibilities of walking for research and teaching– definitely, a joy to read and learn.'

- Lígia Ferro, Professor of Sociology at the University of Porto, Portugal

'I have indelible memories of walk-and-talks with classmates in graduate school. Walking has been an integral part of my thinking and reflecting-with others or alone. The editors have had the brilliant idea of devoting a fascinating volume to the time-honored peripatetic approach. Reading it will refresh and inspire.'

- Professor Alfonso Montouri, California Institute of Integral Studies, San Franscisco
