Synopsis

How is teacher identity constructed at the intersection of academic theory and everyday school life? This indispensable work
delves into the formative activities and rich experiences accumulated over the fifteen-year history of the
Geography Teaching Laboratory (LEG) at URCA. Far from mere abstractions, the chapters in this volume reveal the potential
of the teacher-researcher in the face of contemporary reforms, geotechnologies, inclusive cartography, and
socio-environmental dynamics.
More than just a book on methodology, this is a rigorous yet heartfelt invitation to move beyond the dichotomies within
geographical science. By blending literature, music, and urban analysis with practice on the "school floor," the authors
cultivate fertile ground for an emancipatory education. If you seek to critically understand the use of territory and transform
teaching into a conscious act of reading the world, your next essential read begins here.
