This course asks how higher education \"takes place\" (Lipsitz, 2011). Students will explore critical geographic understandings of space and place, drawing on research not only from geography, sociology, race, gender, and Indigenous studies, but also on a growing body of work on place and space in/of higher education. The course offers students useful frameworks for deepening their understandings of justice and education through a \"spatial justice\" (Soja, 2010) approach, including exploration of methodologies such as critical race spatial analysis and critical place inquiry. Together we'll explore questions particular to rural and urban education, Indigenous understandings of place and education, border studies, place-based education, and policy research and advocacy related to in/equities across higher education spaces and places.
