Special Issue [SI_TGEO] Call for Papers:
Teaching Geography for a World in Transition - Powerful Teaching in Uncertain Times

The European Journal of Geography (EJG) invites submissions for a Special Issue on Teaching Geography for a World in Transition. This Special Issue is directly inspired by the theme of the 2026 EUROGEO Conference — Geographies in Flux: Navigating a Shifting World Order — which will take place in Tilburg, The Netherlands, from 21 to 22 May 2026. In an age of geopolitical realignment, environmental tipping points, spatial inequalities, and digital disruption, geography education is more vital than ever. As the world becomes increasingly uncertain, fragmented, and contested, learners need tools to understand these transitions and reflect on their own positioning within them. This Special Issue explores how geography educators can empower students to navigate complex societal changes by engaging with powerful geographical knowledge, spatial thinking, and critical and future-oriented pedagogies. It invites contributions that address how geography education can respond to the challenges of deglobalisation, multipolarity, postcolonial critique, controversial topics, and the rise of AI in educational contexts.

Submissions may, but do not have to, build on work presented at the 2026 EUROGEO Conference. Authors of accepted articles will be invited to register and present their work in a Special Session at the Conference (More details will be announced after February 2026).

For any questions regarding this Special Issue, please contact: sec@eurogeojournal.eu

Themes and Topics of Interest:

We welcome conceptual, empirical, and practice-oriented contributions that address, but are not limited to, the following:

Teaching controversial and polarising issues in geography: e.g. climate justice, war, migration, nationalism, digital surveillance
Reframing globalisation and deglobalisation: teaching a multipolar and fragmented world
Decolonising geography education: interrogating dominant narratives and integrating diverse ways of knowing
Addressing spatial inequality and belonging: linking local and global geographies of exclusion and privilege
Navigating epistemic uncertainty and complexity: how geography helps students engage with knowledge claims and addressing mis- and disinformation of complex socio-scientific issues
Pedagogies for complexity: dialogic, inquiry-based, speculative, narrative and place-based approaches
Digital geographies and digital pedagogies: how digitalisation reshapes the content and form of geography education
The transformative potential and limitations of digital tools and AI in geography teaching
Teacher agency and curriculum decision-making in times of uncertainty
The role of powerful geographical knowledge in supporting critical citizenship and resilience

Journals Panel Session – EUROGEO 2025 Annual Conference, Skopje, North Macedonia

Thu, 22 May 2025 01:32:31 +0300

From 16 to 17 May 2025, the EUROGEO Annual Conference (https://www.eurogeography.eu/conferences/) brought together geography academics, researchers, and educators in Skopje, North Macedonia, for three inspiring days of exchange and collaboration — all hosted by the Institute of Geography at Ss. Cyril and Methodius University, Skopje, Macedonia. On 18 May, participants enjoyed an amazing field trip to Matka Canyon, taking in the stunning lake views, exploring a remarkable cave, and soaking up the region’s rich natural and cultural heritage.

The European Journal of Geography, represented by our Associate Editor Dr. Alexandros Bartzokas-Tsiompras, proudly joined a panel with editors from three other society-run journals — the Journal of the Bulgarian Geographical Society (Editor: Dr. Hristina Prodanova), Journal of the Geographical Institute “Jovan Cvijić” SASA (Editors: Dr. Ana Milanović Pešić & Dr. Suzana Lović Obradović), and Geographical Reviews (North Macedonia) (Editor: Dr. Vladimir Zlatanoski). All editors reaffirmed their commitment to open publishing: no author fees, just free, high-quality geography research for all.

Our discussion also tackled major challenges facing scholarly publishing today, from finding reliable reviewers and dealing with journal rankings, to navigating the ethical questions raised by AI and predatory journals. These issues are crucial for maintaining open, rigorous, and trustworthy geography research.

Looking ahead, the next EUROGEO Conference will take place in 2026 at Fontys University of Applied Sciences in Tilburg, Netherlands — another fantastic opportunity to connect and share geographical research across Europe and beyond.

Special Issue Completed: Spatial Humanities and Contemporary Geographical Approaches
