Cambridge Science Festival 2019 - geographers welcome
The Cambridge Science Festival is an annual treat. Living where I do, and working in Ely, we have easy access to Cambridge for students as well as staff.
It's a good sign that the front cover of this year's programme is a geology map.

Perhaps better known as the mentor and teacher of Charles Darwin, John Stevens Henslow played a pivotal role in the development of geological mapping. Henslow’s map of Anglesey, which features as our cover image, is one of the first detailed geological maps of the UK. It was published in Volume One of the Transactions of the Cambridge Philosophical Society, the Society he jointly founded and whose 200th anniversary we celebrate this year.
The Perse Geography department produced an excellent visual summary and shared on their Twitter feed.

As ever, here is my geographical take on this year's @camscience programme which sees some superb #geography as part of its programme! Will be on the website next Monday booking up. Can't wait! Thanks for organising @camscience!๐๐งช๐ฌ๐บ️๐ฌ๐ง❄️๐ก️๐#geographyteacher pic.twitter.com/dQJ0Bw3to8— Perse Geography (@PerseGeography) February 4, 2019
Browsing through, there is plenty of interest for Geographers, including a session with the legendary James Lovelock.
Place representation
Superb Y12 work on how music videos can incorrectly depict a sense of place. #geographyteacher #geography pic.twitter.com/kJHIyZ0paO— Perse Geography (@PerseGeography) January 10, 2018
Loving this idea...
Check the feed for more responses and suggestions of further pieces of music which give a certain (possibly false) impression of a place.
Set as a homework task.
Instructions from Perse Geography:
Find a music video that exhibits a strong sense of place. Write a 100 word commentary on
(a) what kind of a sense of place the video gives
(b) whether this is a fair or unfair representation
(c) can you find any statistics to prove or disprove this sense of place?
