The details of the 2022 GA Conference are now up on the GA website.
Everyday geographies
‘Little minds are interested in the extraordinary; great minds in the commonplace’ – Elbert Hubbard
My theme for 2022 encourages exploration of everyday geographies. We are all living geography. Our diurnal routines connect us with places, people, environments and cultures. Repeated exposure means we sometimes forget how significant these are in shaping our identity and impacting the planetary emergency we all face.
Our quotidian experiences are both individual and shared. Speakers and delegates will be encouraged to revisit the stories of the commodities, cultures and landscapes that shape all our lives, unpicking the geographical connections behind them. In recent challenging times, some of those connections were temporarily severed or amended, and others deserve reassessment.
The 2022 Conference will be an occasion where we can once again come together and take the time to celebrate what makes us who we are: now and in the future, and explore how revealing the powerful hidden magic in these everyday stories can enrich our personal curriculum journeys.
Alan Parkinson, GA Vice President 2020-21
I hope to see you there, but more importantly for the time being, I hope to see you next week for the GA Conference 2021.
