As we approach the Easter holidays for many, it’s great to see a really thought-provoking post from @mildthing99.bsky.social (learningtoteachgeography.substack.com/p/thinking-l...) on disciplinary knowledge and knowledge-makers in Geography.

learningtoteachgeography.substack.com

Thinking like a Geographer: Knowing the knowledge-makers: Are geographers missing out on disciplinary knowledge?

Brendan Conway asks who are the main characters in the stories we tell about our geography? Who are the knowledge-makers, and why don't we know them?
