Teaching Resources

Reproducing and sustaining a cohort of active Economic Geographers is an essential part of the EGRG’s remit. Promoting the teaching of Economic Geography through engaging and exciting syllabi, teaching aids and resources goes a long way towards ensuring a future generation of scholars are encouraged to call themselves Economic Geographers. Through this section of the website we aim to provide access to a range of resources that members might use to enhance and develop their teaching.
