| Abstract: |
In the context of a growing literature and practice around walking research, thischapter considers how to transfer such momentum into teaching outdoor walkingmethods within Higher Education. Presently there is a relative lack of teachingresources. This writing therefore offers reflections from three incremental andcomplementary techniques aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students.These include setting an assessed task from a 30-minute independent walk, usingthe psychogeographical dérive to structure group walking within a fieldtrip, andequipping postgraduates with the knowledge to scope out their own walking researchprojects. These approaches are largely grounded in ethnography and aimed at abroad disciplinary field. From these examples I summarise the logistical challengesand need to develop learning materials and courses. |
