Abstract: As the field of planning stretches toward redressing the injustices of past land use patterns through reparative practices, student learning needs to include socio-emotional, as well as technical and intellectual, skill-building.

Transformational learning theory considers the mechanisms through which place-based learning expands student worldviews through exposure to other ways of knowing.
