I took some time to read your students' reflections about their urban adventure. As a mom of a 12 year old (begins 7th grade in fall),I had hoped for a teacher like you for him. Appreciated the thoughtfulness and kid-like quality of the reflections I read.

Some of my graduate work was in anthropology so the two links to Gupta & Ferguson are much appreciated. I haven't read Collin Ward but see that I need to. Between you and Rob I will be busy reading. Again thank you. It's interesting isn't it how evolutionary it is to be privileging walking.

An example of such might be <a href="http://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/t:sistercorita" rel="nofollow">Sister Corita Kent</a>, who used to go out looking at vernacular signage to use in her work.
