In front of global challenges and uncertainty there is an increase recognition to prioritize more grounded and inclusive place-based approaches for the production an application of knowledge (Horlings et al., 2020), and development (Gibson-Graham, 2006).
Relational understanding of human connections to place can inform about process that enable or hinder transformations towards sustainability. Building on the emerging literature on changing senses of place in socio-ecological systems (Bousquet; et al., 2022; Quinn et al., 2019; Raymond et al., 2021), and in diverse and community economies (Roelvink,  et al., 2015), the aim of the session is to insight the role of subjectivity and local communities on how to adapt and transform in the face of global uncertainty.
We encourage contributions that address:
–        the emergence of senses of places from relational perspectives.
–        the ways in which local place meanings and attachments can facilitate or impede adaptative or transformative social process.
–        incremental and transformative capacities of place-shaping practices, stewardship capacities, place-related narratives of change, etc.
–        the role of affective and cognitive dimensions on community level-capacity building.
–        sense of place, world- and community views, and transformative learning and economies.
