I would like to encourage all participants in the 'Beyond the Academy'
conference to consider submitting your work to ACME: An International
E-Journal for Critical Geographies. Information about the journal was
provided in your conference packs, but for others, the joural website can
be viewed at: http://www.acme-journal.org
As an online journal available free on the internet, ACME provides
perhaps the best opportunity to ensure that your published work is
readily available 'beyond the academy'.
Best wishes to all,
Lawrence

>The conference led to very interesting debate about a number of key themes:
>
>"h the relevance of geography;
>"h the role and purpose of academic geography (pro-active or reactive);
>"h the issue of access to the policy sphere and influence on policy
>decision process;
>"h the issue of scale of research and action;
>"h the question of broadening the Academy to be post colonial and more
>inclusive of geographical research traditions from round the world;
>"h the time scale of feed though of academic knowledge into policy;
>"h the notion of geographical knowledge as having increased value as a
>collective rather than an individualised output;
>"h the importance of reflection about research ethics in all areas of
>geographical research.
>
>If you were not able to get to this conference then you really missed
>something. I hope that the organisers will be able to find a way of
>publishing the papers and a summary of the debates.
