weighing in on the other end of the disciplinary spectrum...

Shannon--

you might want to check out Science and a Sense of Place, the archive for a K-12 workshop offered here last summer (and this summer upcoming)--look esp. @ the notes @ the end of Day One, which talks about "a critical pedagogy of place": instead of the current standardized (and so "placeless") science curriculum, that limits/devalues/distorts local geographical experience, designing one that would promote the well-being of the particular place where the kids are learning--AND interrogate 'em. The focus of our workshop was not just on conserving, but on transforming local places, being attuned to the particularities of where people live--especially when those places are poor urban neighborhoods. So (back to your paper): does the city of London have a genus loci? Does Boston?
