>> 'Engaging Geography' is a seminar series (funded by the Economic and
>> Social Research Council) that aims to explore and respond to key
>> challenges facing geography in 2008 and beyond: the 'state' of the
>> discipline, its disciplinary identity and public face; a lack of
>> interaction between academic, school, and other geographers; the
>> perceived inability to engage with and influence the world and public(s)
>> 'out there' (see Castree et al, 2007); and the increasing calls for
>> academics to play more prominent public roles, at a time of developing
>> growth in 'public' variants of many social science disciplines (see
>> Attwood, 2007).
>>
>> Our first seminar will be held on Friday and Saturday January 23rd and
>> 24th, 2009 at the Star and Shadow Cinema in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK (see
>> www.starandshadow.org.uk <http://www.starandshadow.org.uk> ):
>>
>> 'How did that happen?' The creation of time and space for public
>> geographies
>>
>> This introductory event will be held over a 24-hour period, with the aim
>> of identifying common themes and issues about 'new public geography'
>> through panel discussion and open floor debate, presentations and
>> interventions of varying types focused on exploring 'how did that
>> happen?'
>>
>> We wish to encourage anyone with an interest in 'engaging geography' to
>> participate - academics, researchers, students, practitioners, and, of
>> course, members of 'the public'. We hope to facilitate the inclusion of
>> as wide a constituency of 'geographers' as possible, by creating time
>> and space for discussion around stories of engagements, the initiation
>> of enduring relationships and research, issues of
>> communication/translation, engaging geographical work beyond academic
>> publication, successes and failures, and perceptions of those on 'the
>> receiving end' of geographical engagements, with a particular focus on
>> exploring how publics value the time and expertise of geographers.
>>
>> PLEASE FORWARD TO ANYONE YOU THINK MAY BE INTERESTED...
