dc.description.abstractThis constructivist grounded theory study takes a socio-critical approach to the process of school ground greening by examining how people in a western Canadian urban centre manipulate forms of capital to initiate and maintain school ground greening projects. Key findings that emerged during the study include how social capital played a significant role in participants’ ability to successfully initiate school ground greening sites, as well as the gains both in and from social capital during the process. Participants’ experiences also illustrated how forms of cultural, human, and economic capital were accessed, used, and/or gained during the process of school ground greening. Informed by theories such as Bourdieu’s forms of capital, this study explores how forms of capital are interconnected and overlap in their definitions. This study also advances recommendations that respond to problematic issues in the school ground greening process; for example the issues of socio-spatial disparity and maintenance.en_US
