ABSTRACT This article explores diverse ways of experiencing the city through an experimental field-based workshop supported by the Institute of Australian Geographers and this journal. The two-day methods practice workshop attracted 40 participants and aimed to train doctoral students and early career researchers in practices of observing, feeling, listening, mapping and visualizing the city. This paper aims to demonstrate how learning new methods that include Embodied Observation, Qualitative GIS, Locative Media Ethnography and Sonic Methodologies enabled 16 participants to encounter and experience the City of Melbourne in novel ways. The group learning environment and co-authored pieces that assemble diverse reflections demonstrate that the workshop is a form of innovative teaching and learning that has implications for Higher Education in Geography, but is yet to be explored more fully in the pedagogic literature. The experimental workshop has ongoing pedagogical benefits given the leadership, participatory and collaborative skills that unfolded when leading scholars, doctoral students and early career researchers came together to produce lively geographies of the city.

在城市中练习生动的地理：通过实验性的实地工作坊邂逅墨尔本

摘要 本文通过由澳大利亚地理学家协会和本期刊支持的实验性实地研讨会探索了体验这座城市的多种方式。为期两天的方法实践研讨会吸引了 40 名参与者，旨在培养博士生和早期职业研究人员观察、感受、倾听、绘制和可视化城市的实践。本文旨在展示学习包括具体观察、定性 GIS、本地媒体民族志和声波方法在内的新方法如何使 16 名参与者以新颖的方式接触和体验墨尔本市。小组学习环境和汇集不同反思的合着作品表明，该研讨会是一种创新的教学和学习形式，对地理学高等教育具有影响，但尚未在教学文献中得到更充分的探索。考虑到当领先的学者、博士生和早期职业研究人员聚集在一起制作生动的城市地理时，实验讲习班具有持续的教学优势。
