Abstract
AbstractWithin school geography in England and Wales, there is increasing interest in using insights from the ‘cultural turn’ in human geography. This article explores the implications of these developments. It discusses how debates about culture influenced educational developments in the 1960s and 1970s and how these stressed that culture and politics are closely linked. The article examines examples of recent materials produced for school geography teachers that draw upon work in cultural geography and argues that these tend to downplay and minimise questions of politics. The article stresses the importance of asking critical questions about the forms of geographical knowledge produced in educational settings.
