Summary:

"Places of Learning" considers the pedagogical force of "anomalous places of learning"--places outside of schools that provoke us to rethink and reshape the activities of education. Ellsworth explores what it might mean to think of pedagogy not in relation to knowledge as a "thing made," but to knowledge in the making. In so doing, she reconsiders the experience of the learning self and investigates how emerging understandings of human embodiment might be used to stage an interdisciplinary leap into the future of pedagogy.
