ABSTRACT
Chapter 4, ‘Issues of Space and Place in School’, focuses on the creation of place and movement in school, and it gives an overview of the relevant previous research in the area. It considers the nature of school buildings and the impact that these have on behaviour in school. It will also examine how the meanings ascribed to specific places are negotiated and used as well as reappropriated by young people. Movement as being therapeutic in its own right will be considered as well as the means by which movement is policed and experienced in school. It will also explore the impact of surveillance on identity formation and the spatial strategies that young people engage in to create student-friendly places.
