Futuring Geographers: The role of the subject organisations

Abstract

This article provides a succinct account of the two main organisations representing geography in England, highlighting their shared histories and complementary strengths. The authors, who lead the Royal Geographical Society (with Institute of British Geographers) and Geographical Association respectively, go on to describe the current priorities of their organisations within the context of a rapidly changing educational world. They argue that there is strength in working together to support and lead the future development of geography, particularly in the schools sector. The article also follows the announcement of the Action Plan for Geography which encourages this to happen. The authors make it clear that the vital task of preparing future geographers is challenging work which requires long-term commitment.
