Jan 28: Out of field thinking

One of the aspects of the work I will be doing over the next year on this blog is to engage with research from "out of field". 

All teachers should engage with subject specific research to add complexity and nuance to their thinking. 

If the sources of information that are used for planning resources are limited, then the resources that are presented to students will not stretch them, or offer opportunities to show what they know first. As a geographer I engage with people from other disciplines: including poets, photographers and artists. My curriculum is also informed by sociologists, psychologists and anthropologists....

I got started on this with a piece by John Schofield and Ron Wright.

I will return to Sheffield later in the blog, when I start a series of posts about cities which have a particular "sonic heritage", and will draw on this work.
