Sun Dec 8 20:10:03 UTC 2019

Dear colleagues,

I would like to learn more on the admissions and procedures in UK geography departments[1],[2]

  1.  Why are students from economically poor families in the UK not getting more opportunity to study Geography in Geography departments in the UK ?
  2.  How can we ensure more students from economically poor families can also get opportunity to study in UK Geography departments?
  3.  How can UK geography departments help in reducing UK’s extreme wealth inequality?
