Good to hear from you Alison.
Your general topic sounds fine - any more specifics in terms of location/type of community?
I look forward to your abstract in due course.
Thanks
Sara

It would be great to connect with others in Australasia working with participatory approaches in research and teaching given the emerging presence of sessions about participatory geographies at both AAG and IBG conferences over the last two years. Postgraduate students are particularly encouraged to present.

There have also been several articles discussing the possibilties and challenges of participatory approaches within geography (see Kesby 2000, Kindon 2003 and Pain 2004 among others). This proposal seeks to build on and sustain this growing interest by providing a space to critically reflect on the specific forms participatory geographies have taken in Australia and New Zealand, and to question if, how and why they differ from participatory geographies practised elsewhere.

This session will bring together geographers from around the world to share examples from practice and to consider how local geographical and institutional contexts inform what change is possible both within and beyond the classroom.
