Notes

‘Envisioning Geographies: Social and Cultural Perspectives’, organized by the Social and Cultural Geography Study Group of the RGS/IBG, London, June 2003

Our view is that, within the English‐speaking world, social and cultural geographers in Australia, Aotearoa/New Zealand and Canada have been more successful at wedding theory and action in their work

While more of this work falls in what is traditionally ‘social’ geography, a session on ‘Cultural Geography at the Coalface’ organized by Sara McKian at the RGS/IBG conference in London, September 2003, showcased many examples of policy‐engaged work in cultural geography

There are other potential meeting points—we have focused here on one which seems particularly significant at the time of writing.
