ResumoOutdoor experiential education (OEE) pedagogy suggests that by traveling through or living in backcountry environments, gaining knowledge of and stewardship for the natural environment, and participating in exercises that focus on developing personal bonds to the landscape, students should leave an OEE course or class feeling a greater depth of connection to and value for the natural environment.This sense of place is essentially a culture of emotional belonging to place and community (Kyle & Chick, 2007;Priest & Gass, 2005).The purpose of this study was to explore how students systematically marginalized by race, ethnicity, and/or class experienced sense of place and belonging in an OEE program.
