Book series
International Perspectives on Geographical Education
Series Editors: Clare Brooks and Di Wilmot
This Scopus indexed book series is dedicated to international research in geography education, focusing on curriculum, pedagogy and assessment related to geography education across the age range (from KG-higher education). Led by the priorities and criteria set out in the Commission’s Declaration on Geography Education Research, the series plays an important role in making geography education research accessible to the global community. Publications are drawn from across the geography education research community, and also includes publications stemming from specific events supported by the Commission. Individual book author and editors are encouraged to consider how their proposals correspond to the Commission’s ongoing programme of work. Research published represents immediate developments within the international geography education community. The series seeks to support the development of early career researchers in publishing high quality, high impact research accounts. This series is under the editorial supervision of the International Geography Union’s Commission on Geographical Education.
