SUMMARY:Making the Case for Geography in Our Classrooms: Lightning Lessons for Transformative Learning (RGS-IBG Annual International Conference 2025)
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of the RGS-IBG Annual International Conference 2025 \n\n\n\nPanel: \n\n\n\n\nConvenor\, Discussant\, Panel Chair: Kenneth Foote\, University of Connecticut\, \n\n\n\nConvenor\, Discussant: Alan Marvell\, University of Gloucestershire\n\n\n\nConvenor\, Discussant: Sonja Rewhorn\, The Open University\n\n\n\nConvenor\, Discussant: Harry West\, UWE\, Bristol\n\n\n\nDiscussant: Gavin Heath\, University of KwaZulu-Natal\n\n\n\n\nDescription: \n\n\n\nThis panel discussion will focus on how geography education can address today’s critical challenges\, including climate change and social inequities. We invite participants to share persuasive pedagogical materials\, practices\, and lessons that demonstrate geography’s value in understanding and responding to local\, regional\, national\, and global issues. We are particularly interested in examples that emphasise geography’s role in supporting progressive\, inclusive civic education that prepares students to be active\, participatory\, and empowered citizens. \n\n\n\nThis session will showcase geography’s transformative potential in the classroom\, equipping students to make empathetic and critical spatial decisions regarding community and global issues. Transformative learning emphasises social and environmental justice\, highlights the lived experiences and well-being of underrepresented groups\, and transforms classrooms into welcoming\, inclusive spaces. \n\n\n\nIn collaboration with the International Network for Learning and Teaching in Geography in Higher Education (INLT)\, this panel discussion aligns with similar initiatives from the American Association of Geographers (AAG) and the European Association of Geographers (EUGEO). We aim to share teaching strategies that reflect what Sarah Bednarz describes as “geography’s secret powers to save the world\,” explore “why geography matters\,” as noted by Harm de Blij and Alec Murphy\, and address geography’s “wicked” problems\, as discussed by David Simm\, Alan Marvell\, and Alexia Mellor. \n\n\n\nJoin us for this engaging debate and share your experiences in the classroom. We welcome discussions on classroom ideas\, materials\, or strategies that invigorate geography education and inspire others. This workshop-style panel allows contributors to pitch and discuss ideas at any stage of development.

SUMMARY:Food Education\, Creative Practice and Youth’s Everyday Geographies of Food (RGS-IBG Annual International Conference 2025)
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of the RGS-IBG Annual International Conference 2025 \n\n\n\nPanel: \n\n\n\n\nConvenor\, Panel Chair: Sara Brouwer\, Utrecht University\n\n\n\nConvenor: Irene Marchiani\, Utrecht University\n\n\n\nConvenor: Tine Beneker\, Utrecht university\n\n\n\nConvenor: Ajay Bailey\, Utrecht university\n\n\n\nConvenor: Harrison Awuh\, Utrecht University\n\n\n\n\nDescription: \n\n\n\nFrom various national educational programmes accompanying the EU’s Fruit and Vegetables Scheme to government-supported programmes such as the Healthy Schools Approach (De Gezonde School) in The Netherlands\, the Italian School & Food Programme (Scuola&Cibo)\, and the ‘Food – a fact of life’ programme in the UK\, the food education landscape is a patchwork. \n\n\n\nWhile different in each country\, these formal food pedagogies – educational ideologies and practices focused on growing\, acquiring\, shopping\, cooking\, eating and disposing of food (Flowers & Swan 2015) – share the common goal of educating young people about healthy and sustainable food choices and skills. Studies in European contexts have mainly measured knowledge retention and uptake of healthy eating habits (Battjes-Fries et al. 2017)\, while geographers in Anglo-Saxon settings have highlighted a scalar politics around how social anxieties about food and diet (cooking skills\, childhood obesity) in educational programmes place responsibility on the individual scale of the young body\, overlooking structural processes such as income and spatial inequalities that shape food access (Jackson 2016). Geographers have\, furthermore\, critiqued food education programmes for reducing food to its nutritional components\, emphasising students’ deficits over capabilities\, and for producing normative moral binaries distinguishing good/bad food\, healthy/unhealthy or good/bad parents and children\, often excluding diverse cultural and socio-economic foodways (Maher et al 2020; Rawlins 2009). \n\n\n\nCreative methods and practice have the potential to bridge the gap between food education and young people’s diverse and everyday geographies of food. This session includes contributions that explore: \n\n\n\n\nHow creativity in formal or informal education can reimagine food education;\n\n\n\nHow participatory methods (e.g. photo elicitation\, arts-based methods\, games such as Serious Play but also gardening\, cooking\, recipes) can help integrate youth’s voices and their geographies of food in food education or to understand the role and responsibilities of teachers\, administrators\, parents;\n\n\n\nHow creative practice (art\, photography\, theatre\, poetry) can challenge the predominant material lens in food education\, shift students from passive to active agents in learning about food or facilitate discussions around the relational and affective nature of food and structural political and economic factors influencing how families relate to food.

SUMMARY:What Can We Creatively Learn Here\, That We Can Learn Nowhere Else? (RGS-IBG Annual International Conference 2025)
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of the RGS-IBG Annual International Conference 2025 \n\n\n\nPanel: \n\n\n\n\nConvenor\, Panel Chair: Smriti Safaya\, Stockholm Environment Institute – York\, University of York\n\n\n\nConvenor\, Panel Chair: Suzie Eden\, University of York\n\n\n\n\nDescription: \n\n\n\nOur students have taught us that the most impressionable learning experiences in Geography are seen\, heard and felt. With more than 25 years teaching geography in U.K. and Hong Kong schools across a range of national and international curricula\, we\, Dr. Smriti Safaya and Suzie Eden will lead conference attendees on a multi-sensory geography-forward outdoor workshop to stimulate thinking about using the creative arts\, smartphone and AI technologies\, and interdisciplinary place-based approaches for teaching and researching socio-environmental topics. \n\n\n\nThis 3-phase workshop includes: (i) sharing research findings and implications about impactful experiential learning on youth agency and youth participatory action research; (ii) putting pedagogy into practice\, with a series of outdoor activities ranging from soundscaping\, doing biodiversity citizen science and nature journaling; (iii) facilitating a reflective discussion where workshop attendees ideate ways to tailor the workshop ideas and methods to suit their educational and research contexts. This workshop provides an overview of several creative fieldwork methods that can be used to inform geographical enquiry across a range of topics in KS2 to KS5\, and in the International Baccalaureate Middle Years and Diploma Programmes’ humanities\, geography\, biology\, environmental science and societies\, and global politics courses. We provide a bespoke workshop guide for each attendee to write in\, and it would be beneficial for attendees to bring their smartphones and pencils/pens to fully enjoy the range of activities. The University of Birmingham campus’ green areas make for ideal spaces for the outdoor portion of the workshop. Along the workshop phases\, attendees will gain interdisciplinary insights from behaviour psychology\, citizenship education and participatory action research which can be applied to champion equitable youth and teacher voices in geography teaching\, research and action. \n\n\n\nCome rain or shine\, we will be exploring wildly about creative enquiry in Geography. As ‘they’ say\, there is no such thing as bad weather\, just bad gear!

SUMMARY:The Future of Fieldwork (RGS-IBG Annual International Conference 2025)
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of the RGS-IBG Annual International Conference 2025 \n\n\n\nPanel: \n\n\n\n\nConvenor: Joanna Southworth\, University of Birmingham\n\n\n\nConvenor: Lesley Batty\, University of Birmingham\n\n\n\nConvenor: Surindar Dhesi\, University of Birmingham\n\n\n\n\nDescription: \n\n\n\nFieldwork is an integral part of Geography as a discipline\, whether as human or physical geographer\, a student or researcher. This session will explore the challenges that we face in conducting fieldwork in a rapidly changing financial\, political\, social and technological world. Employability is one important and increasingly more crucial area that fieldwork feeds into. The practical side of ‘being a Geographer’ can enable students to gain transferable skills not accessible in the classroom\, and there is a case to be made for fieldwork in these terms. However\, as sustainability rightly makes it way up the agenda of many Universities\, the need and necessity for overseas fieldwork\, in particular undergraduate trips abroad\, is a question that is worthy of serious consideration. This is coupled with concerns of rising financial pressures for both students and universities\, access to suitable sites\, and safety concerns associated with a number of countries. The advent of technology means that both quantitative and qualitative research could in some part take place remotely (big data\, remote sensing or utilising Zoom or Teams for interviews/focus groups). Similarly\, technology has enabled virtual fieldwork on the physical side to be a viable alternative. Yet in a discipline that stresses the importance of place\, what is lost by not conducting research in situ? There are also questions of a more ethical nature regarding helicopter science and perhaps a way forward might be greater collaboration with local researchers who could perform the data collection. The advent of AI opens up even more possibilities and also threats to how we currently conceive fieldwork\, the student or researchers role in it and the need for it to happen ‘in place’. This session will explore these questions as well as considering creative ways in which we can take fieldwork forward into the future.

SUMMARY:Emerging and Innovative Pedagogies in Geography Higher Education
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of the RGS-IBG Annual International Conference 2025 \n\n\n\nPanel: \n\n\n\n\nConvenor: Harry West\, UWE\, Bristol\n\n\n\nConvenor: Alan Marvell\, University of Gloucestershire\n\n\n\nConvenor: Jennifer Hill\, UWE\, Bristol\n\n\n\n\nDescription: \n\n\n\nThe evolving landscape of geography higher education demands pedagogical innovation that is responsive to the diverse needs of students and the challenges of the 21st century. This session invites paper contributions that explore emerging and transformative approaches to teaching\, learning\, and assessment\, offering a platform to share ideas and discuss emerging and innovative HE pedagogies. \n\n\n\nCentral to the discussion is the integration of inclusive and equitable teaching practices that address the diverse needs of students. By rethinking traditional teaching and learning approaches and exploring alternative assessment models\, educators are fostering accessible and engaging learning experiences. These practices are further enhanced by advances in technology\, including the use of generative AI. Tools such as AI-driven writing aids\, data analysis platforms\, and virtual simulations are being leveraged to personalise learning\, create innovative assessment opportunities\, and prepare students for a digitally-literate world\, while also prompting critical discussions about ethics and academic integrity. \n\n\n\nThe session also explores how pedagogies adapted during the COVID-19 pandemic\, such as digital and hybrid teaching\, have evolved into powerful tools for the post-pandemic era. Innovative uses of digital platforms and immersive technologies\, such as GIS\, augmented reality\, and online collaborative tools\, are changing how students interact with geographical content and their peers and tutors. This transition to flexible and technology-rich learning environments is complemented by a renewed focus on authentic and sustainable fieldwork. By emphasising local contexts\, virtual field experiences\, and ethical community engagement\, educators are balancing pedagogical rigor with social\, environmental and financial responsibility. \n\n\n\nRecognising the holistic nature of education\, this session also considers the affective dimensions of learning. Emotionally supportive pedagogies are emerging as crucial tools in fostering student and staff wellbeing\, resilience\, and motivation. Equally transformative are student-staff partnerships\, where students are empowered as co-creators in curriculum design\, assessment practices\, and research\, ensuring that educational practices remain inclusive\, relevant\, and reflective of diverse perspectives. \n\n\n\nBy integrating these themes\, the session aims to provide a collaborative space for sharing innovative practices that advance the discipline of geography\, preparing students to navigate and address the complex challenges of a changing world.

SUMMARY:Creating pathways to leadership in Geography HE - Panel discussion (RGS-IBG Annual International Conference 2025)
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of the RGS-IBG Annual International Conference 2025 \n\n\n\nPanel: \n\n\n\n\nConvenor: Sonja Rewhorn\, The Open University\n\n\n\nConvenor: Vicky Johnson\, The Open University\n\n\n\nConvenor: Matt Finn\, University of Exeter\n\n\n\n\nDescription: \n\n\n\nThe higher education landscape is changing\, with precarity\, whether this is institutional restructures\, shrinkages within universities\, dissolution of geography departments or the ever-growing workload. As leaders or aspiring leaders\, questions are emerging on how we support ourselves and others as leaders or how to become leaders\, during current precarious times. Furthermore\, leadership covers various elements from managers and performance management\, leading or supporting through change\, leading modules\, programmes\, learning and teaching or wider pedagogic themes such as employability or generative AI. What is more\, there is limited literature on leadership in geography in higher education. This panel discussion will discuss how we can creatively support ourselves and others through our leadership aspirations. Topics will\, but not be restricted to: \n\n\n\n\nControl vs empowerment of both leaders and those they work with\n\n\n\nCreating a pathway to leadership\n\n\n\nCreative empowerment to deal with the short-term crisis whilst still retaining the long-term goals\n\n\n\nUsing creativity to overcome obsessions with output and financial driven performance

SUMMARY:Crǝativethnographies (1) Exploring new ways to co-produce young people's geographies using arts\, fiction and so-much-more-than-that (RGS-IBG Annual International Conference 2025)
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of the RGS-IBG Annual International Conference 2025 \n\n\n\nOrganised by: \n\n\n\n\nConvenor\, Panel Chair: Itta Bauer\, University of Zurich\n\n\n\n\nDescription: \n\n\n\nThis session aims at bringing together people – including geographers and social or educational researchers – who share three interests: \n\n\n\n\nFirst\, they collaborate\, learn\, study or work with children or young people.\n\n\n\nSecond\, they have experience and/or interest in ethnographic research designs that involve young people with diverse backgrounds.\n\n\n\nThird\, they are open-minded and eager to explore how we might fill “crǝativethnographies” collaboratively as a methodological approach that combines art-based\, fictional and other creative ways to express individual as well as collective experiences\, views and challenges.\n\n\n\n\nThe intention of this gathering is to respond to previous research with similar foci (e.g. Cole & Knowles\, 2001; de Freitas\, 2003; Gilles & Robinson\, 2012; Kill\, 2022; Leavy\, 2013; Mendus & Connelly-Mendus\, 2024; Rizvi\, 2019\, Stafford\, 2017; Watson\, Morgan & Bull\, 2021). We may take this session as an opportunity to explore if “crǝativethnographies” is a useful term to extend these approaches or move to somewhere else. \n\n\n\nThe interactive short paper format of the session has been deliberately chosen to share ideas on not yet fully cooked up\, ongoing\, but also finished projects that combine interests in arts\, ethnography and young people. Hopefully\, this brings together conceptual\, methodological and empirical work from different social and spatial contexts. \n\n\n\nPresentations may\, for example\, focus on \n\n\n\n\nsuggesting fresh ideas how to create an inclusive network of people interested in “crǝativethnographies” reaching out beyond academia?\n\n\n\nelaborating empirical examples where creative educational spaces in play groups\, schools\, youth clubs or more informal or online gatherings enable new ways to fathom out the chances\, challenges and threats that young people experience during creative acts and performances.\n\n\n\ninterrogating established concepts in terms of ethnographic work or art-based ethnographies with young people and their participation\, collaboration and responsibility in these projects.\n\n\n\nexploring creative ways in which young people engage in activism and/or fight for environmental\, social or other forms of justice.\n\n\n\nimplying an art-based research design in different stages of the research process\n\n\n\nillustrate how young people and researchers (or teachers) use social media and hybrid forms of interaction and communication to publish their arguments and publicise their actions.\n\n\n\nengaging with conceptual ideas and their consequences\, such as “fiction as research practice” (Leavy\, 2013) and fiction (or other art) as research output.
