GAConf22: Mapping home: children’s understandings of home in a time of crisis - #86 of many

The latest in a series of posts showcasing sessions which are included in the programme for the GA Conference in April 2022. 

This session will consider how the COVID crisis has led to a reshaping of the geographies of home. 

We focus on our ongoing research, which has employed hand-drawn mapping to explore how children and young people (aged 7-16) have understood, renegotiated and articulated the meaning of home during the COVID crisis and specifically through repeated lockdowns. 

Prof. Georgina Endfield, Professor of Environmental History

Jacqueline Waldock, University of Liverpool 

Lecture 

KS2-KS4

This is an important area of research, and one that will continue to be explored in geography for some years to come. 

The session is linked to the RGS-IBG Stay Home Stories project.
