The Fieldwork in focus CPD modules have been created by the Geographical Association and the Fieldwork Studies Council as part of our strategic partnership.

This CPD module takes about 45 minutes. It will cover:

  • What we mean by ‘Fieldwork’ in geography
  • Local vs distant fieldwork: why both are important
  • Practical solutions to some of the issues
  • Fieldwork as an entitlement for all, not just enrichment for some.
