| book description |

This book creatively and critically explores the figure of the flÃ¢neur and its place within educational scholarship. The flÃ¢neur is used as a generative metaphor and a prompt for engaging the unknown through embodied engagement, the politics of space, mindful walking and ritual. The chapters in this collection explore sensorial qualities of place and place-making, urban spaces and places, walking as relational practice, walking as ritual, thinking photographically, the creative and narrative qualities of flÃ¢neurial walking, and issues of power, gender, and class in research practices. In doing so, the editors and contributors examine how flÃ¢neurial walking can be viewed as a creative, relational, place-making practice. Engaging the flÃ¢neur as an influential and recurring historical figure allows and expands upon generative ways of thinking about educational inquiry. Furthermore, attending to the flÃ¢neur provides a way of provoking researchers to recognize and consider salient political issues that impact educational access and equity.Â
