As per all the GA’s Committees and Special Interest Groups, the Geography Editorial Collective is a sub-committee of the Education Group and subject to the statutes and standing orders of the GA. Its terms of reference state that the Collective exists to support GA members by:
- enabling readers to keep in touch with the discipline by providing scholarly summaries and interpretations of current research and debates from the breadth of human and physical geography and geographical education both in the UK and internationally
- maintaining the quality and relevance of the journal
- commissioning content for three issues of the journal per year
- appointing from the Collective an Editor (or Editors) for each issue of the journal.
The Chair of the Collective is invited to the meetings of the Education Group, providing a valuable link between the Collective and the wider GA.

- Professor Katie Willis (Royal Holloway, University of London) (Chair)
- Dr Matt Finn (University of Exeter)
- Dr Margaret Kadiri (King’s College London)
- Dr Steve Puttick (University of Oxford)
