‘Geography, Education and the Future’ is edited by Graham Butt, and contains contributions from members of the Geography Education Research Collective (GEReCo). Details of my chapter are as follows:
Hopwood N (2011) Young people’s conceptions of geography. In G Butt (Ed) Geography, education and the future. London: Continuum, 30-43.
Situated in a section on Children, Young People and Geography, this chapter draws on the New Social Studies of Childhood, arguing the need to take young people and their views seriously. It reviews what is known about young people’s conceptions and experiences of (learning) school geography, and explores how issues of the future, young people and geography relate to one another.
The book is available in shops and online, including on amazon.
