Frances Slater

Frances Slater was mentioned in a communication from David Lambert as being a key player, but who never became GA President. One of several others such as Norman Pye.

Frances worked at the Institute of Education, and was a contemporary of other Presidents such as Norman Graves.

A New Zealander by birth, Frances Slater gained her Ph.D. in Geography from the University of Iowa and worked at the London University Institute of Education. She gave a summer school course at McGill in 1975.
She wrote a book called 'Learning through Geography' which remains influential. I have a copy on my main 'geography shelf" by my desk. There are some good ideas contained within its pages, although the book was published in 1982.
