Now published: The book “Teaching fieldwork in geography, earth and environmental sciences”!

Structuring fieldwork as a jigsaw to increase student responsibility in, and ownership of, their projects
I am a huge fan of Kjersti‘s excellent teaching, it is always so inspiring!

Janina Dreeßen, with Katja Kuhwald as her main supervisor, did an excellent job, and I am presenting her work at the #FieldWorkFix conference today. If you can’t join later, here are my slides and what […]
