1000 posts!

I started this blog as a "legacy project" from my GA Presidential journey, and Presidential year in 2021-22.

It has attracted some interest and had over 450 000 page views, which is not bad for a blog.

Thanks to all the GA Presidents - past, present and future for their support and contributions.

I have just passed 1000 posts on the blog.

Thanks for visiting and reading.

GA Conference 2027 - Passionate about Geography

Fiona Sheriff's GA Conference theme is below.

You have until the end of August to submit a proposal for a session. A link will appear on the GA website shortly.

GA Conference video... and GA Strategy video

Two videos from the GA were released this week.

The GA Conference video is here. There's a few shots of the audience at mine and Matt Podbury's session along the way.

There are also new Summer issues of the GA's journals, and the GA Magazine has a conference review as well.

Steve Brace has also shared a video linked to the new GA Strategy which runs from 2026-31.

The GA's new Strategy focuses on:

1. Supporting geography as a subject - particularly at a time of curriculum change
2. Supporting primary and secondary teachers
3. Inspiring and supporting the Next Generation of Geographers

GA Conference 2027 - date and venue announced

The dates and venue for next year's GA Conference have been announced. Fiona Sheriff will be President for 2026-27 and has chosen the theme 'Passionate about Geography'.

The conference will take place at the same venue as this year. It worked really well and is a central location for many, and also very convenient for GA staff as the Association is based in Sheffield. There are plenty of accommodation options and it is a short walk from the train station for sustainable transport options.

Keep an eye out for the announcement of the call for papers, and I hope to see you there.
