Consultations
We respond regularly to consultations and calls for evidence from government departments, Parliamentary Select Committees and other bodies.
Reform of higher education research assessment and funding
Our response to this Department for Education and Skills (now-DfE) consultation evaluates the meaning and role of metrics in RAE2008 assessments
1+3 model for postgraduate funding
Our response evaluates the 1+3 model in general, and highlights inflexible quota allocations and limited options for quantitative training as discipline-specific issues.
Education Outside the Classroom Manifesto
Our response to the DfE notes that geography is not mentioned in the consultation document, despite at the time being the only subject with statutory reference to the provision of fieldwork in school. It also advocates for substantive commitments to fieldwork.
Consultation on postgraduate funding
Our response calls for AHRC recognition of geography in interdisciplinary or non-humanities units, and evaluates how several funding proposals might affect geography researchers
