PTI Education Residential

Last Sunday I had the pleasure of heading for Downing College, University of Cambridge for this year's Prince's Teaching Institute Enrichment Residential to present a session.

I had been asked to speak to a group of geographers about fieldwork and my Presidential theme of the Everyday. I drew in my colleague and mentor Claire Kyndt to join me as we had been asked to lead a fieldwork session and I knew that she had plenty of experience, and was also feeding in the work she presented at the GA Conference on the work of the Dear Data project.

Here's the presentation we were used.


We were fortunate that we had a free Mela event setting up on Parker's Piece for the weekend, which added additional interest to the space, as well as options for food purchases.

Some pictures of the event, many taken from the Ferris wheel that was set up on Parker's Piece for the summer



Happy to answer any questions regarding the suggestions here. Delegates had access to a wide range of materials.
Claire and I had some very positive feedback about our contribution to the weekend.

Alan Parkinson's talk will be on Exploring Post-Covid Geographies: Navigating new normals in the classroom

The last year has seen dramatic changes around the world. This session will explore the implications of the pandemic on the geography classroom and the curriculum. What new human and physical geographies are emerging as a result of the impacts of COVID-19? Participants will have access to a detailed document and resources to help unpick examples such as the economic effects of working from home, changing demographics, vaccine inequalities, food security, air quality and the rise of the 'staycation'. There will be examples drawn from Alan's own classroom and an opportunity for sharing and developing ideas collaboratively.
