Are you interested in how to embed Aboriginal perspectives in early childhood education regarding space? 
Our summary today works with the chapter titled Engaging with place – Foregrounding Aboriginal perspectives in early childhood education from 2017 by Catherine Hamm and Kelly Boucher, from the book titled Found in Translation: Connecting reconceptualist thinking with early childhood education practices.
This episode is a great preparation for our next interviewee, Kelly Boucher in episode 114. 
Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see the different aspects of how to engage with place, and in a broader sense with our environment. This chapter presents the Aboriginal worldviews which are in a relationship with space including human and non-human elements.
As the most important things, I would like to highlight 3 aspects:

Pedagogy and curriculum can be situated as knowledge mobilization – ways to enact knowledge, rather than just storing content and in situating place as a pedagogical contact zone, we acknowledge that places are always in a state of entanglement of human and more-than-human others.
Being present opens spaces to rethink pedagogies as a way to think with concepts and ideas, rather than thinking about or consuming content.
Learning to be affected’ term can be useful to make room for understanding place as a generative pedagogical zone which attends to the ways in which places are entangled in all kinds of bodies and works to disrupt the linear thinking of place.
