11	Art, Nature and the Virtual Environment: Three strands of a narrative inquiry written around a schoolyard garden as a collection of "events" Cuerden, Barbara January 2010 (has links) Working with an organization outside the public school system that was creating schoolyard gardens, I began to think about culture and cultivation inside and outside of schooling practices. The liveliness of the schoolyard gardens presented possibilities for enlivening educational discourses. With two participants I planted a container box schoolyard garden outside Lamoureux Hall, which houses the Faculty of Education. Utilizing aspects of place-based pedagogy, ecoliteracy, ecopedagogy and a metissage of a/r/tography, eco-art and writing as a method of inquiry, we tended the garden and dwelled upon ideas of nature, culture, and their intersection in a particular place. Our garden experiences left cyber footprints in virtual space as blog spots on a thesis blog site. The garden and the inquiry it generated outside,is brought back inside the education building as a Master's thesis. The garden grew in different and unpredictable ways due to intense construction on site, entwining the planter boxes with unseen variables. ecopedagogy environmental education place-based pedagogy ecoliteracy participatory paradigm arts-based methodology arts-based education living pedagogy outdoor education thesis blog Michel Serres writing as a method of inquiry research on place and space a/r/tography resilience alliance David Jardine Center for Ecoliteracy resilience teaching for emergence food security eco-art ecotherapy schoolyard gardens sustainable education teaching towards emergence,
