School geography is full of opportunities to study places and the differences between them, but there remains little scope for sustained reflection on what place is as a concept. This article explores some of the theoretical approaches which have been taken towards the study of place in geography, from the spatial science of the 1960s and 1970s, through humanistic and constructivist approaches, to recent ideas about a global sense of place.
