CFP AAG 2009: The Geographies of Education
Call For Papers
22.-27. March 2009 AAG Annual Meeting, Las Vegas
The Geographies of Education
The importance of education in influencing the geographies of
opportunity available to children is widely recognised. However, the
ways through which this occurs are complex and multi-faceted. This
series of sessions will examine the geographies of education from a
variety of perspectives and using a wide array of methodologies to
focus on the following themes: (1) barriers to academic achievement;
(2) integration, segregation and identity in school spaces; (3)
pedagogy, policy and power.
Interested presenters are invited to submit their title, abstract and
PIN to Suzanna Klaf ([log in to unmask]) by October 13, 2008.
