Episode #37: Stephen Scoffham - Quality geography, atlases, capital cities and making geography fun!

This week John spoke to Dr Stephen Scoffham, former GA President, Visiting Reader in Sustainability and Education at Canterbury Christ Church University and author of atlases, text books and much more besides. 

John and Stephen covered a lot of ground, including why geography matters, what makes good quality geography teaching, tackling controversial issues, capital cities, whether geography should be taught as a single subject or integrated, and the Collins Atlas series. 

Thanks to Collins for sponsoring series 6 of GeogPod.
