The flaneur and education research: a metaphor for knowing, being ethical and new data production

This text creatively and critically explores the figure of the flâneur and its place within educational scholarship.

The flâneur 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 flâneurial walking, and issues of power, gender and class in research practices.
