As part of my PhD dissertation, completed in 2014, I conducted research on the role of places as teachers in our lives. Please check out my interactive website devoted to learning more about how humans connect with place around the world. . Now it is your turn to tell a story of a transformative place (or places) online. Please visit my site, watch Wade Davis, Iona Campagnolo, May Sam, and Claudia Li return to their childhood and adolescent transformative places, then visit your own transformative place and upload videos, pictures, stories, poetry, or whatever suits your fancy through the interactive map or discussion areas.
