Abstract: This article explores and reconsiders the view of children's encounters with place as central to a place-based pedagogy that seeks to dismantle rather than support constructions of a nature-culture binary. I unpack the current fervour for reinserting the child in nature and nature-based education as a significant phenomenon in environmental and outdoor education. I will draw on recent literature on place-based research and theorise using new materialist and posthumanist approaches that seek to disrupt anthropocentric views and support new ways of considering our encounters with the more-than-human world. Then, using these new approaches, I will theorise a recent place-based research project with children in the city of La Paz, Bolivia, to illustrate how it is possible to challenge current assumptions that are firmly entrenched in the child in nature movement. I will conclude by considering what intra-species relations, place encounters and child-body-animal-place relations can teach us about questioning anthropocentrism and human exceptionalism. Finally, I consider how can we overcome these limitations of a narrow and nostalgic view of ‘child and nature’ and reimagine a more erse approach to education for a sustainable future.

Abstract: This special edition of Global Studies of Childhood reports on the global research currently under way to replicate the original seminal work by Mayer Hillman on children's independent mobility that was conducted in the United Kingdom in the early 1970s, and which was replicated in the United Kingdom and Germany in the 1990s (Hillman et al, 1990) and is now being revisited in 20 culturally erse countries. The opportunity for children to move freely in the environment without an accompanying adult is defined in the literature as children's independent mobility or CIM (Hillman et al, 1990 Tranter & Whitelegg 1994). CIM is measured in terms of spatial range or roaming range, and this measure can be determined by parents or caregivers in terms of the boundaries they set or through a negotiation between children, parents or caregivers and even the community. Children's spatial range may change according to a child's maturation, health and cultural background, social and cultural influences in parenting styles and boundary making (often influenced by issues of safety and risk), physical attributes of the environment and differences in the role of the community as ‘loco parentis' and on the role children are purported to have in terms of being socially determinant. The research project that the four countries reported on in this special issue, namely Australia, Japan, South Africa and Tanzania, have participated in had two main aims. The first aim was to provide a national and international comparison of children's and parents' views of the independent mobility of children aged 7–15 years from a variety of social and cultural contexts by contributing to and building on the original seminal study (Hillman et al, 1990). It also provided the opportunity for general historical comparisons with original research that was collected using the same or similar questionnaires over the past 20 years. In the article written by Rudner & Malone on CIM in Australia, for ex le, a comparison is being made with the work of Tranter, from the early 1990s, with schools in similar localities (Tranter & Whitelegg 1994). Finally, the focus was to explore how CIM varies internationally, and to identify the factors affecting CIM and the implications this may have for children's lives. This final aim is particularly important as most of the research on CIM has been conducted in western industrialised nations (for instance, two recent publications by Freeman & Tranter [2011] and Fyhri et al [2011] report almost exclusively on studies in Europe, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand) and therefore provides a very limited perspective of what is prioritised as the important debates, key trends and issues being purported globally around CIM.

Abstract: Drawing on a posthuman lens we walk — with Deborah Bird Rose and her conceptual framing of shimmer . We explore shimmering as incorporating a sensorial richness, as beauty and grandeur, as constantly in flux, moving between past, future and back again. Shimmering has potentiality in a posthuman context in its encompassing of spiritual and ancestral energies and illumination of the human (settler) story of exceptionalism. By theorising shimmer with this posthuman lens, we acknowledge and honour the eco-ethico consciousness raised by Australian ecophilosophers and ecofeminists such as Deborah Bird Rose and Val Plumwood, and the social ecologists who have continued to walk with them. In order to disrupt anthropocentricism and present a moral wake-up call that glows from dull to brilliance in these precarious times, we bring to environmental education the potential of holding the shimmering past tracings of theory along with us on our journeys.

Abstract: This article speaks up for those who are feeling unheard as post-qualitative inquirers. It also speaks with hope, helpfully, to those in positions of supervision and mentorship to help student researchers work across post paradigms, becoming allies with those who are attempting to experiment with new theory, figurative forms, and processes. Addressing some of the tensions we have experienced between traditional qualitative and emerging post-qualitative researchers enables us to specifically name disruptions that block, silence, and misalign. We also share openings as possibilities that remain with the tension and do not offer advice or recipes to follow. This is exactly the type of reductive process that post-qualitative research is trying to circumnavigate. In the hullabaloo, this article is a clarion call for the academy to open up education research and make room for researchers who are unbounded by the invented rules of humanist tradition and familiarity.

Abstract: Bodies sensing ecologically is a concept the author uses in order to imagine how children can engage/communicate with the more-than-human-world prior to language acquisition. Meaning through bodies sensual knowing emerges as the means for making sense of things in the act of sensing. A very young child finding ways to be with nonhuman animals plants the weather water and materials in their everyday is described a sensorial ecological encounter. Postqualitative methods and posthumanist approaches feature as central, diffractive analysis explores difference as connections and relations within and between different bodies, affecting each other and being affected.

Abstract: Within a rapidly urbanising world, many governments, particularly those in developing nations, will struggle over the next 30 years to support children. There were many key issues and challenges for children in cities identified over a decade ago as countries embarked on the task of addressing and monitoring progress through the Millennium Development Goals ( mdg s). But as the 15-year time frame of the mdg s draws near and urbanisation swells and sets to increase significantly in those countries with the least capacity to manage it, it is the post-2015 agenda that is now the key talking point for many un agencies. This article supports and argues, along with others, that the rights and needs of the most vulnerable children and their communities should be central to the post-2015 sustainable development goals ( sdg s) and unicef through its urban programmes such as child friendly cities initiative ( cfci ) has a significant role to play in addressing both the crisis of urbanisation and children’s rights. This article concludes by identifying four key areas where unicef ’s cfci has the potential to contribute to the planetary challenges ahead.

Abstract: This article presents the research results from a study conducted in New South Wales, Australia about primary school children's independent mobility (CIM), their concerns, and the concerns of their parents. These results are compared with a similar study conducted in 1992. Data were collected using written questionnaires, one for children and one for their parents, distributed via three primary schools. The key findings indicate that school travel has not substantially changed over the past 18 years, although there has been a slight mode shift from walking to school bus travel. Children would like to engage in active transport and have more freedom to do other activities on their own however, parents restricted CIM based on age, and concerns about traffic and strangers. Although there were localised differences in the survey results, it is hard to determine what influence these factors had on CIM.

Abstract: This paper examines city streets and public space as a domain in which social values are asserted and contested. The definitions of spatial boundaries and of acceptable and non-acceptable uses and users are, at the same time, expressions of intolerance and difference within society. The paper focuses in particular on the ways in which suspicion, intolerance and moral censure limit the spatial world of young people in Australia, where various regulatory practices such as curfews are common. The author reflects on the failures of the two main strategies that have been used in Australia to control the presence of young people, and concludes with some thoughts about the construction of streets and public spaces as erse and democratic places.

Abstract: This chapter presents a historical and policy cartography of environmental education. It begins with a brief historical overview of significant environmental education initiatives, focusing on how they became part of a highly political and intergovernmental agenda and how the concept of sustainable development has infiltrated the field of environmental education. It then considers the neoliberal relationship between environmental education and sustainable development before providing a cartography of environmental education policies and an analysis of ‘currents’ (the complex and evolving perspectives and pedagogies) in the field. Two case studies of environmental education are discussed, namely, the Climate Change + Me project in Australia and the story of a teacher named Rose in Bangladesh who inspired environmental consciousness and sustainable practices amongst her students.

Abstract: For many children across the globe, whether in low or high income nations, growing up in the 21 st century will mean living in overcrowded, unsafe and polluted environments which provide limited opportunity for natural play and environmental learning. Yet Agenda 21, the Habitat Agenda and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child all clearly articulate the importance of urban environments as the context for supporting children's sense of place, community identity and empathy with the natural world. I will argue in this paper that these attributes are all key drivers for supporting children in their role as future decision makers and environmental stewards. Extending Winnicotts' concept of “holding environments” beyond the social and cultural aspects of communities as sites for placemaking I draw a link to the value of botanical gardens and other green spaces in cities as the “holding environments” for children's environmental learning. I will construct an argument around the premise that to participate in, and contribute to, global sustainability - our children need places and the opportunity to engage, connect and respond to nature.

Abstract: Walking-with children on blasted landscapes opens up possibilities of an entangled set of uneasy encounters, revealing and provoking an alternative geo-storying, a de-colonialising pursuit conjured up from an awakened ethical sensibility. I am walking-with those who have been deemed unworthy of recognition and are invisible in the obscene manifestations of capitalism, the arms race, and the cold war: these companions walk with us as past ghosts as we share the horrors of a dystopian future. Walking-with children on this landscape is to bear witness to the atrocities of the Anthropocene: to bring attention to the invisible, the monsters, the unsightly possibilities, and stories of fear and fascination, doom and dread. In this paper I walk and write with the past, present, and future to highlight the complexity of what Karen Barad calls spacetimemattering.
