Great stuff!! _____ From: A forum for critical and radical geographers [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Ian Cook Sent: 24 January 2007 17:11 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Public Geographies: project website Hi All Some may be interested in the following projects recently undertaken by members of the 'Public Geographies Working Group' at the University of Birmingham. <http://www.gees.bham.ac.uk/research/pgwg/Projects/Makingconnection/introduc tion.htm> Making the Connection (Ian Cook, James Evans & Helen Griffiths). An attempt to develop new school and university geographies that were more engaged, challenging and socially inclusive. This project engaged and involved publics through bridging the divides between university and school geographies. The website is intended a) to illustrate the project so that school teachers and academics contemplating such work might learn from our attempts at collaboration; and b) to provide teaching resources for school geography teachers looking for ways of making connections between young people's everyday and taught geographies: in this case through a series of resources and activities connecting banana consumption and farming and mobile phone use and manufacture. Under <http://www.gees.bham.ac.uk/research/pgwg/Projects/Undercontrol/undercontrol .htm> Control? (Emily Quinton) An exploration of a personal recovery form anorexia through photography and auto-ethnography. This project engages the personal with academic, gallery and online publics.
