The authors ethnography poses and answers three questions: How useful might discursive positioning be as a perspective on learning? What are the discourses at Wild Country Hall and how are they different to schooling discourses? How might neoLiberal discursive practices, including performativity and current schooling orthodoxies have affected the pedagogic practices at this centre? A number of overarching discourses (place, the appreciation, care of and respect for nature, the sense of awe and wonder, understanding and protecting the environment, risk, challenge and adventure; and consequent confidence and resilience building by children through facing and overcoming their fears) dominate the life of Wild Country Hall. The author proposes that introducing young people to these discourses allows a repositioning of personal identity which may be regarded as learning. Conversely, some pedagogic practices were found to valorise what may be described as classroom discourses, and have tended to formalise learning at the centre. This may be narrowing the range of discourses available, possibly to the detriment of childrens learning.
