'This sparkling, accessible collection makes a significant and unique contribution to academic discussions about walking as critical pedagogy. In their different approaches to roaming through the layered historical palimpsest of the city and its vital, myriad spaces, the authors, students and other participants experience, conceive and imagine the city otherwise, disclosing a wealth of sensory, theoretical and historical insights. In attuning to the pedestrian experiences of forgotten and overlooked urban inhabitants - women, migrants, the unemployed and recently incarcerated - this book offers an interdisciplinary and inclusive approach that foregrounds lived experiences and avoids theoretical and methodological purism.'

- Tim Edensor, Emeritus Professor of Social and Cultural Geography at the Institute of Place Management, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK

'Walking as Critical Pedagogy brings a fascinating set of experiences and perspectives from applying walking methods to understand the City from collaborative processes. In critical dialogue with the legacy of Paulo Freire, this book creatively shows the possibilities of walking for research and teaching- definitely, a joy to read and learn.'

- Lígia Ferro, Professor of Sociology at the University of Porto, Portugal

'I have indelible memories of walk-and-talks with classmates in graduate school. Walking has been an integral part of my thinking and reflecting-with others or alone. The editors have had the brilliant idea of devoting a fascinating volume to the time-honored peripatetic approach. Reading it will refresh and inspire.'
