  1. What We Do

The Geographer

We publish an attractive and informative quarterly magazine, The Geographer. Each edition explores a different geographical theme, with a range of short articles from experts and enthusiasts. Over the years, we have received contributions from the Dalai Lama, Senator John Kerry, Mary Robinson, Helen Sharman, Annie Lennox, plus a whole host of senior academics, policy makers, managers in the NGO community and many more.

Members receive printed copies of the magazine in early March, June, September and December. Three months after publication, copies are made available to read electronically on issuu or via the PDF links below.
