Thinking spatially: a springboard to new possibilities.

This article argues that geographical theories are generative when to comes to understanding how educational disadvantage is produced and reproduced across generations. Spatial theories can inform critical interrogation of the ways in which students and their families from particular places, such as communities of poverty are represented in the media. Yet spaces and places can also become rich curricular resources when treated as assets for designing and enacting pedagogies of care and belonging. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
