Global Geographer

The Global Geographer is a new fortnightly paper for people who are interested in geographical issues. Edited to traverse the academic, the teacher, the student and the curious, Global Geographer aims to bind the Geography community in an accessible format. We want you to read this on the train and then give it to teenager to enjoy. Think of it as Casual (yet critical) Geography.

Have you got news?

The Global Geographer is interested in your news, views, research, photos and articles as and when they come up. It doesn't matter who or where you are. We love talk about place, space, connections, environments, people and all things geographical. The only condition is that what you serve up must be easy to read despite all the rigor of your preparation. Items of 100 - 500 words are ideal, but don't let us hold you back.

The Global Geographer is produced and edited by volunteers so for the foreseeable future so all contributions will be paid for in love. To contribute just email your item to Daniel at mygeographyteacher@googlemail.com . Global Geographer depends on Geographers sharing their work and ideas so please do join in.

The sycamore tree in my garden lost all the leaves it had been clinging on to, and bushes were tapping against the windows. On the way home from a fancy dress party, my Noddy Holder hat blew off and I ended up in someone's front garden chasing it round in a gyre... Of course the storms were nothing compared to the problems created by the weather in the Philippines. See this BBC NEWS article for more on the effects of Hurricane Durian. Interestingly, durian is one of the top search phrases on Google for leading people to GeographyPages - not sure why... Geography and Music (Cont.....

Picture: David Rayner CfBT Conference for Geography for new KS3 Curriculum Thanks to the 70+ Heads of Geography and other colleagues in various capacities who attended the CfBT Eastern Region Conference at the Holiday Inn in Norwich yesterday. It was hard work (especially as I followed it up with 2 hours plus at a parents evening...) but enjoyable, and good to talk to people and get their ideas for how they were going to be "creatively subversive...." Particular thanks to David Rayner and Ruth Totterdell, the National Subject Leads, my RSA colleagues John Harrison and Katharine Hutchinson, John Lyon from the GA, and Jon Wolton from the RGS, and of course all the delegates, particularly Lucy and Clare.
