Call for papers: 'Towards Innovative Energy, Environment and Geography
Teaching', 13th of March 2013
We are currently seeking abstracts for this one-day workshop, which will
take place on the 13th of March 2013 at the Royal Geographical Society
with the Institute of British Geographers (RGS-IBG) in London. The event
is being organised under the auspices of the InTreAct (Investigating
REsidential and business energy consumption via student-led ACTion
research) project. It is funded by the Higher Education Academy, with
support from the Energy Geographies Working Group of the RGS-IBG.
The aim of the workshop is to build research capacity and provide a
platform for interdisciplinary knowledge exchange, by bringing together
higher education teachers who wish to share and improve their pedagogical
practices in the geography, earth, and environmental sciences (GEES)
domain. Paper topics can include, but are not limited to:
- Methods and techniques for active, problem-based and/or collaborative
energy teaching in GEES disciplines;
- Using students as partners in GEES energy learning projects (via
student-led activities and placements);
- The demand for learning energy-related issues in GEES;
- Developing innovative energy syllabi in GEES;
- Novel technologies for energy teaching in GEES (comparative
opportunities, problems and strengths).
Paper abstracts of no more than 300 words should be sent to Dr Saska
Petrova ([log in to unmask]) no later than the 20th of
February 2013.
Limited travel bursaries will be available. Please indicate your interest
in them when sending your abstract.
