This event would be of particular interest to teachers in and around Manchester, who would be able to take their students to this afternoon lecture in early July. A good way to end the week.
Would be worth telling students in Year 13 who may be planning on starting a degree this year as well.

This lecture will enable school-aged students to begin to explore geography as an academic discipline looking specifically at the geographies of difference. Although the lecture's content is not directly aligned with the school geography curriculum, it is intended that it will encourage students to appreciate that the way we see the world is subjective and to consider the need to think about their own prejudices. Dr Nerea Okong’o will then use examples from her own research and touch on themes relating to feminist geographies, Black geographies and decolonising geography.Dr Nerea Okong’o is a Black feminist geographer with an interest in how elite Black African women experience feminist concepts of time, care, difference and equality.
Dr Okong’o’s work focusses on crucial elements of decolonisation and its complicity in geography and challenges the retrogressive discourses that define, shape and influence the way women, Black women and other minorities are engaged in cultural, social, political and economic processes in the environment around us.
