Abstract: This research examines how emotional and sensory experiences related to natural and urban spaces within the university campus help cultivate a transdisciplinary perspective aimed at fostering responsive and inclusive communities. Using qualitative methods, this study employs a phenomenological and ethnographic sensory approach through a multiple-case study design. Interpretation is based on methodological bricolage using diverse theoretical perspectives and data collection tools. The process is organized into five phases, and through axial coding, 40 dimensions were identified form a model of knowledge dialogue constructed by the senses. Through grounded theory, a conceptual and systematic cartography of the posthuman phenomenon is presented, articulated in: explanatory theories on sensitivity, gender, urban planning, and inclusive politics (based on a posphenomenological approach); constructed from a body, a territory, and situated educational practices. The study concludes with theoretical and methodological contributions and educational implications, allowing us to address the relevance of the “philosophical quantum” for teacher training. The role of the teacher-researcher in the creation of knowledge is highlighted, as well as the impact of recognizing the territory and contexts where educational experiences are developed through transformative teaching.
