project website
Hi All
Some may be
interested in the following projects recently undertaken by members of the
'Public Geographies Working Group' at the
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
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.

and people you think may be interested.
Thanks
