This book offers a comparative analysis of alternative education in
the UK, focusing on learning spaces that cater for children and
young people. It constitutes one of the first book-length
explorations of alternative learning spaces outside mainstream
education - including Steiner, human scale and forest schools, care
farms and homeschooling.Based on original research with teachers,
parents and young people at over 50 learning spaces, Geographies of
alternative education demonstrates the importance of a geographical
lens for understanding alternative education. In so doing, it
develops contemporary theories of autonomy, emotion/affect, habit,
intergenerational relations and life-itself. The book will appeal
to academics and postgraduates in the fields of geography,
sociology, education and youth studies. Given ongoing concerns
about the state's role in providing children's education, and an
increase in the number of alternative education providers in the UK
and elsewhere, the book also highlights several critical questions
for policy makers and practitioners.
