Changing Senses of Place Summary

Changing Senses of Place: Navigating Global Challenges by Christopher M. Raymond

Global challenges ranging from climate change and ecological regime shifts to refugee crises and post-national territorial claims are rapidly moving ecosystem thresholds and altering the social fabric of societies worldwide. This book addresses the vital question of how to navigate the contested forces of stability and change in a world shaped by multiple interconnected global challenges. It proposes that senses of place is a vital concept for supporting individual and social processes for navigating these contested forces and encourages scholars to rethink how to theorise and conceptualise changes in senses of place in the face of global challenges. It also makes the case that our concepts of sense of place need to be revisited, given that our experiences of place are changing. This book is essential reading for those seeking a new understanding of the multiple and shifting experiences of place.

Changing Senses of Place Reviews

The volume provides vital guidance in how we might navigate an increasingly uncertain and precarious future.' Guy M. Robinson, University of Adelaide, Australia
'Recommended.' G. J. Martin, Choice Magazine
