“…The network now lists 725 artists across an international terrain and runs conferences, symposia and workshops, including the walking women's symposium in London at Somerset House in 2016 curated by Clare Qualmann and Amy Sharrocks. Heddon et al’s (2022) UKRI and AHRC funded Walking Publics/Walking Arts: walking, wellbeing and community during Covid 19 (www.walkcreate.org) explored the public's experience of walking during Covid as well as the walking practice of artists. A report and a walkbook of walking recipes by 30 artists curated by Heddon et al (2022) both share the findings of the research and offer creative recipes by artists to inspire and support people to walk.…”

This special issue advances and interrogates walking as a methodology and research method in the social sciences. Walking is something we do every day, as a lived experience, a source of knowledge, a means of dialogue and exchange with oneself, others, nature, the environment and as an aid to thinking, reflecting and memory. Social science is increasingly "on the move", underpinned by advances in digital methods, a focus on our mobile lives, and the growth of creative, sensory, arts-based multi-modal methods, used by sociologists, ethnographers, anthropologists, geographers, environmentalists, biographical researchers and arts based researchers.As an innovation in social research methods the turn to walking builds on and attaches to the previous "turns" in sociological research, such as the narrative, biographical, visual and sensory "turns" as well as the performative "turn". Walking also resonates with geographical traditions of embodied "field-work" and recognition of the social and spatial nature of knowledge production (Lorimer 2003;Dewsbury & Naylor 2002;Rose et al., 2022). There are important connections too, with walking, in the long history of social research that seeks to understand social inequalities, through, for example, the work of Engels, Mayhew and Orwell, the pioneering research by the Chicago School of Sociology with migrant and marginalised communities and gender politics in the writing of Virginia Woolf, the suffragette marches and gender based protest movements.As the papers in this special issue evidence, the act of walking engages all the senses, the importance of looking, hearing, feeling and we argue, the art of paying attention (Ingold this volume). Walking methodologies offer a powerful way of communicating about experiences and ways of knowing across cultural divides, time, and history. The walking body produces society and sociality is created in walking (

“…Research that focuses on the relationships among humans and other aspects of the material world embraces not only animate beings but inanimate and they might disrupt (and for whose empowerment). Walking has been researched as pedagogy in a range of formal and non and informal settings, including in outdoor learning (Beames, Higgins and Nicol, 2012;Gray and Colucci-Gray, 2019), decolonial walking pedagogies (Walsh, 2015), walking libraries for women (Heddon and Myers, 2020), non-ableist walking (Stenning, 2020), participatory methods of research (Snepvangers and Davis, 2019;Borthwick, Marland and Stenning, 2020), posthumanist (Snaza et al, 2014) or multispecies inquiry (Rautio, Tammi and Hohti, 2020). Most of these have exempli ed a shift of focus both empirically and ontoepistemologically from individuals to relations and multiplicities, from large-scale certainties to micro-scale situatedness and webs of interrelations, exposing, for example, systems of domination at work in curriculum and pedagogy (Snaza et al, 2016).…”

Reimagining Education: The International Science and Evidence Based Education Assessment

T he goal of this chapter is to assess research that can inform understandings of places and spaces of learning. The chapter assesses evidence across three types of learning spaces: built spaces, digital spaces, and natural spaces. It looks at the role of these di erent kinds of spaces for learning, attainment, interpersonal relationships, skills development, wellbeing and behaviours -across four pillars of learning to know, to be, to do and to live together. The chapter also explores how learning spaces can be actively shaped, felt and understood through practices and policies that occur within and around them.
