'Teaching Geography for a Better World'? The Postmodern Challenge and Geography Education

Abstract

This paper offers a discussion of the role of 'critical' geography education in the light of debates about postmodernism in geography and education. After a brief discussion of the features of 'critical' geography education, the paper discusses postmodernism. In particular, it focuses on the role of language, the postmodern concern with difference, and the implications of postmodernism for critical pedagogy. The paper then provides an example of how postmodernist ideas might inform the teaching of urban geography.
