Abstract
In this chapter I present an emerging theoretical framework for thinking about and enacting place-based education for people who have a sense of place that may not be connected to a specific locale or is connected solely to the locale in which they currently live. I use a sense of multiplace that describes a sense of place that may be connected to multiple places at once through history, memories, identity, and lived experiences.
