This book explores theory that can be used to inform how educational expeditions are conceptualised, planned, and facilitated. The contributors offer a wide range of perspectives through which expeditions for educational purposes can be considered. Eleven accessible chapters examine the following topics: - The British Youth Expedition: Cultural and Historical Perspectives - Virtue Ethics and Expeditions - Interactionism and Expeditions - The Expedition and Rites of Passage - Science on Expeditions - Choices, Values, and Untidy Processes: Personal, Social, and Health Education on Educational Expeditions - Expeditions and Liberal Arts University Education - Understanding Heritage Travel: Story, Place, and Technology - Expeditions for People with Disabilities - Ethics for Expeditions - Current Issues Aiming to bridge theory and practice, each chapter outlines relevant literature, highlights key areas for consideration, and offers suggestions for real-world application. The book will be of interest to researchers, university students, expedition organisers, and outdoor instructors.
