Subject: Re: School Geography
Re-engagement with school and public geographes need to be more than two
way and not simply in a banking-system / 'top-
down' style - it is easy to forget the subject exists in universities in
the UK as a direct result of the lobbying of school teachers and demands
for school geography education.
Geography educators I know who work in schools and beyond in other public
spaces are often critically engaged because of their own passions and
commitments to keeping up with changes in research and theoretical ideas.
There are also some highly creative and imaginative geography educators who
work with younger people who are able to disseminate current / uptodate
research and apply it, but often these exemplars need excavating. it is
about making spaces and reconnecting and on which my current research
centres.
One of the aims of the action plan for geography is to facilitate multiple
way dialogues between broader public geographies and geography educators /
academics.
