As a newly completed undergrad / Masters postgrad at RHUL at the time, I
second/third Felix and David's memories 9i remember a fantastic AGM - very
vibrant) and being a nervous mere stude asking a question about the potential
legacies of Shell sponsorship of geographical institutions .... Anyway ...
I am really enjoying this thread - it has me in mind of Alan Bennett's 'history
boys' quip about 'nothing being so remote as the recent past' (think it was the
teacher Irwin who uttered the lines), and the need to take care of our own
stories is vital or things get 'lost' (as I am currently finding out in my doctoral
research into the journal Contemporary Issues in geography and Education
(published between 1983 - 1991)).
So i thought I'd be cheeky / opportunistic: If anyone who is reading this was
involved or remembers this journal (if you were involved in writing / producing /
reading / teaching with resources produced by the collective of geographers /
artists / activists / public sector workers / NGOs and students) could give me
an email or let me know their recollections - that'd be fab.
Many thanks
Jo
