Place and Resilience: Editors’ Introduction

[...]the complex concept of sense of place is of interest to a variety of fields including conservation, education, community organizing and planning, psychology and sociology for its potential to understand and motivate human behavior. Each of us actively explored the relationships between sense of place and sustainability in our academic research and continue to focus on this area in our professional work: fostering social and ecological well-being by connecting families with nearby nature (Chiara); the experiences of women practicing regenerative agriculture (Clare); and engagement in community food systems and sense of place (Jeremy). Christion Myers draws on Heidegger’s philosophy and shares stories from Vieques, Puerto Rico to illustrate the power of people sharing what they most value about the places they call home.
