Abstract

This chapter takes up the nexus of place and anti-colonial thought to prompt a consideration of how educational theory and scholarship, in making efforts to critically engage place, often does so with a rather terrestrial focus, failing to account for the placial colonisation of blue spaces. This chapter looks to how public memory is written into both blue and green spaces, doing so in support of a demonstration of how colonial logics are written into both terrestrial and aqueous spaces. Through such an exploration, I call for more attention to be paid in critical educational work to the ‘cyan’ making of settler-colonial place, that is, the complex intersection of blue and green places in the white settler-colonial project.
