One by Walking : Transdisciplinary Mobilities and Methodologies (Environment and Society)

More than just a way to get from place to place, walking is a powerful method of sensing, reflecting, and engaging–with ourselves, with others, and with the environments we move through. Whether as a meditative act, a research tool, or a response to global crises, walking opens new routes to understanding and more mindful ways of living. This groundbreaking, interdisciplinary collection brings together voices from the social sciences, humanities, and the arts to explore walking as both method and metaphor. From mobility and sustainability to embodied experience and ecological connection, these essays uncover the rich, often overlooked dimensions of walking–how it links us to landscapes, histories, and communities, and how it helps shape our place in the world. Born out of the international research network One by Walking: Transdisciplinary Mobilities and Methodologies offers fresh, thought-provoking insights into walking as a creative, intellectual, and political practice. For scholars, educators, artists, and walkers of all kinds, this book is an invitation to step into deeper ways of thinking–one footfall at a time.
