Membership of the Geographies of Children Youth and Families Research Group is currently available to any member of the Royal Geographical Society (with the Institute of British Geographers). Becoming a member of the group enables you to take part in and help develop the exciting, innovative work that the group engages in. Participation in activities developed and supported by the group are excellent ways to disseminate research findings and develop new research ideas in a supportive and friendly group environment. Many have found these activities particularly useful in enabling new and established researchers to develop routes to publication, for example within journal special issues and edited book collections developed through the work of the group.

If you would like to become a member, please download and complete the form on the RGS-IBG website or contact the Secretary: John Barker, Brunel University (John.barker@brunel.ac.uk).

The group also has a JISC mailing list whereby announcements are made to education and research communities about the group's workshops, conferences and publications. It also provides a forum for the discussion and debate of issues of interest to the group. The list currently has in excess of 190 subscribers. (Please click on the link and follow the instructions to join the list.)

Once you have joined the list, you can email the group at geo-children-youth-families@jiscmail.ac.uk.
