About me
Steve Rawlinson, FRGS
President of the Geographical Association (2015-16)
Chair of the Primary Geography Editorial Board (2009-2022)
Co-Convenor of the Charney Manor Primary Geography Conference
Principal Lecturer in Geography Education Northumbria University from 1991-2012
A physical geographer by training who developed a more holistic view of the subject during his Masters study on animal diseases at Aberystwyth. Having then gone on to teach every age range from little ones to those entering their third age, he has an appreciation of the value of geography to everyone. Working with inquisitive minds has always given him great satisfaction and purpose. His GA presidential theme of Making Geographical Connections (2016) reflected this. Being elected as President of the GA by the members was an unexpected honour and privilege.
Nothing gives him greater pleasure than exploring the more remote, secret and wilder places of the British Isles with his dog. He is always very happy to share this love of the outdoors and its mysteries with friends and colleagues.
