"thirdspace is a peer-reviewed journal, offering work in English and French, that aims to presents the best in scholarship on feminist theory and culture. We envision a broad definition of studies in "feminist theory and culture" which can include, but are not limited to, development and applications of feminist theory; cultures of feminism and feminist movement (including academia); and feminist cultural studies." /// I worked as a section editor on the Journal from 2008 to 2011.

Given the ever-increasing migration in today's globalizing world and the pervasive xenophobic behaviors and attitudes of some U.S. school stakeholders toward vulnerable groups such as refugees, migrants and asylum seekers, I argue for a paradigm shift in the theorizing of educational pedagogy. Based on my qualitative study conducted in Lebanon that examines the lived experiences of African women as border-crossers who migrated to Beirut for economic reasons, I forward a subaltern pedagogy. Three critical theoretical frameworks inform this pedagogical shift: critical pedagogy, post/ decolonial thought, and a critical spatial analysis. The latter idea in particular situates marginalized, subaltern groups in their liminal context and takes into account how the space one inhabits impacts their social, cultural and economic worlds, thereby affecting their life and learning trajectory.

Place is often seen as a location of meaning. But whose meaning fills the location? Who defines meaning? What kind of meaning do we seek? These questions inadvertently call on place-based education to reflect on the often-unexamined meaning of place prevailing in the field. This paper draws substantially on the work of critical feminist geographies and the author's own experience as a transient woman of colour to explore the diverse thoughts on and framing of place and to reveal how place is conceived, perceived, and lived through interrelated place anchors. The paper proposes this framework of place anchors in hopes that educators will have an entry point to critically reflect on and understand place as they/we engage in various place pedagogies. Résumé On considère souvent les lieux comme chargés de sens. Mais pour qui le sont-ils? Qui définit ce sens? Quel sens y cherche-ton en particulier? Ces questions nous portent incidemment à pousser notre réflexion sur le sens à donner à la notion de « lieu » en éducation axée sur le lieu, une dimension souvent oubliée. Dans cet article, l'auteure, éclairée surtout par les travaux de géographes féministes critiques et par sa propre expérience de migrante et femme de couleur, explore différentes réflexions et conceptions concernant la notion de « lieu ». Elle explique également comment un lieu est créé, perçu et vécu à travers des points d'ancrage interreliés. Ce concept de points d'ancrage est proposé en vue d'offrir aux éducateurs un point de départ pour entreprendre une réflexion critique et mieux comprendre l'idée de « lieu » lorsqu'ils recourent à diverses approches pédagogiques axées sur le lieu.
