Cara
Each year, thousands of scholars face danger from conflict, persecution, and repression. This impact reaches far beyond the individual. Universities lose expertise, societies lose innovation, and fragile knowledge systems are at risk.
Cara offers a lifeline to at-risk academics, allowing them to continue their teaching and research. Cara partner with 135 universities across the UK to provide fellowships for scholars and their families, ensuring they can work and live in safety.
Cara has supported over 12,000 academics since 1933. Many have made lasting contributions to their fields. Today, Cara's Fellowship Programme assists 140 Fellows in the UK. Cara's Country Programme also offers professional development resources for academics who remain in high-risk contexts.
When academics can continue their work, knowledge expands, higher education systems remain strong, and societies benefit.
Edward Elgar Publishing
Edward Elgar Publishing is a leading international academic publisher with a cutting-edge program of books in Human Geography and related fields. Built on strong author relationships, we are an independent, family-owned and multi-award winning company. Join us at our book display at the Annual Conference to meet our editors and browse our latest books.
Imago
Imago is the Smart Data Research UK Imagery Data Service for sustainability, prosperity and wellbeing. Imago translates complex satellite imagery into research-ready data products, specifically tailored for social researchers, policymakers and practitioners. Imago's team is built of researchers, research software engineers and professional services across disciplines and career stages.
Satellites capture detailed and comprehensive data of the Earth. From urban development to green spaces to pollution, this imagery can help us address the UK’s most complex challenges in wellbeing, prosperity and sustainability. However, extracting actionable insights from raw imagery can be overwhelming and out-of-reach for non-specialists.
At Imago, the mission is to make satellite imagery more useful, usable and used across social research and policy. Imago works with academics, data providers, practitioners and policymakers to create data products that unlock new insights and meet users where they are. This includes research-ready products, intuitive interfaces and capacity building.
Liverpool University Press

Liverpool University Press' mission is to disseminate high-quality scholarly research and promote learning and culture through books and journals. LUP is a global ambassador for the University of Liverpool, dispatching tens of thousands of publications worldwide each year under the imprimatur of an internationally-focused, research-led, Russell Group university.

Since joining LSE Press, the series has been published fully open access.
The first titles released under LSE Press are Nonauthoritarian Authority: Cities, Materiality, and the Aesthetics of Power by Julian Brigstocke, Climate Hegemony: Confronting the Politics of Environmental Impasse by Laurie Parsons, and Geography and a Geographer: Reimagining the Discipline after Ron Johnston edited by Richard Harris, David Manley, and Robert Mayhew.
Manchester University Press
From the future of cities and housing justice to environmental change, infrastructure, power and inequality, Manchester University Press publishes geography titles that engage with some of the most urgent questions facing the world today, for both academics and wider audiences. Part of our social sciences subject list, our geography books bring together leading research in human geography, urban studies, environmental humanities, development, migration and place-based scholarship, offering fresh perspectives on how people, environments and systems interact and evolve.
Recent titles explore postcapitalist urban futures, housing and social justice, environmental governance, landscape and heritage, infrastructure, political ecology and more. Whatever you're researching, our books provide innovative and internationally relevant contributions to contemporary geographical debates.
