About this title

Synopsis

A Companion Piece to Place as Text: Approaches to Active Learning. City as Text grew out of a particular configuration: course clusters comprised of several disciplines that were organized to address a theme especially resonant with a given site. It was clear that students needed a mechanism to sensitize them to context and to integrate their reading, discussions, and writing. Multiple components structured explorations repeated over time in various locations; laboratory observations recorded with attention to detail and nuance; formal and informal interviews of people who live, play, work, worship in, and shape their environment—became the experiment that evolved into a versatile exercise we now call Place as Text.
