CGEP was born from Mann’s own research on the intersections of geography and educational policy. His work includes exploring school district enrollment patterns, the relationship between space and educational inequality, and segregation in schools. https://lnkd.in/gBx2XNx6

By drawing students and staff from across Dublin, the country and the world, Dublin City University contributes to the fabric of the city. Another way the university affects the city is through research. Projects from across DCU are tracking the city’s past and present, and scanning the horizon to plot its potential future. For instance, Dublin’s city centre is layered in history. The period following the Irish Civil War is now just over a hundred years ago, and a paper by Dr Daithí Ó Corráin (School of History and Geography) and Dr Joe Rodgers charts the restoration of O’Connell Street following intense combat in the area. https://lnkd.in/egyrH6st

Come reimagine with us! “Rural Reimagined: A Grand Challenge for Appalachia” 2025 Appalachian Studies Association Conference Tennessee Tech University, Cookeville, Tennessee March 20-22, 2025 Photographs by Sabrina Greene-Rusk. One-fourth of the counties that comprise Appalachia are classified as rural—neither part of nor adjacent to a metropolitan area. The 48th annual Appalachian Studies Association Conference will explore the theme “Rural Reimagined” by celebrating the creative uses of technology, science, and the arts with the greatest potential to transform life in and proximate to the region’s rural communities. #appstudies2025 #Ruralreimagined #appalachianstudies #appalachia #appalachian #appstudies #asa #Asainaction

Sorry to have missed this but really enjoyed listening to the recording! Thanks for sharing. 'Power' should be such a helpful concept in school geography, giving students the sense of agency (and so hope), both in understanding who the gatekeepers and influencer of change are but also in challenging and resisting current power structures and hegemonies and move away from the sense of inevitability about the world that we often see in A level responses. It was so useful to be reminded that we had 'power' specifically as a concept in our 2008/09 Edexcel AS/A2 specifications in the 'Going Global' and 'Superpower Geographies' units but not sure how well understood or embedded they were at that time. As Daryl says I think discussions of power would be particularly well suited to understanding and diversifying the local scale Dynamic Places topics of the current A level spec as well as more explicitly (as least as far as ALCAB influenced DfE Subject content) in Global Systems and Geopolitics topics. We encourage teachers to focus our 'Players' synoptic theme in current A level on 'Power' in relation to influence (linked to the specialist DfE/ALCAB concept of 'inequality') and not just 'stakeholders'

The workshop I delivered at the GA conference - Power: A New and Essential Lens for Geography Education - was attended by a room full of people excited by the prospect of progressive change. 🙏🏾After much preparation, constructive feedback, and nerves, I am grateful for the people who supported me, attended the workshop and shared their positive responses. 🌎Simon Oakes said, “Power’s bigger than geography. There’s not a claim that this is geography’s superpower; this is a social sciences humanities thing.” 👀I strongly believe that studying power can help students learn skills to critically engage with the world and understand how to react to and advocate for change. 📺You are welcome to watch and learn from the presentation (fully subtitled) on YouTube. Use the slides and teaching resources to encourage your students to become critical citizen-geographers. 👨🏾🏫As teachers, we can collectively advocate for change through our teaching and our choice of exam boards, all to develop students into inclusive and effective leaders of change. ❓How will you incorporate ‘Power’ in your classroom? https://lnkd.in/eprHKtuU
