Abstract
ABSTRACT This contribution to the Applied Geographies series describes how geographical skills and knowledge are being used in Scotland to support the work of those tackling poverty in central government, local government, the Third Sector, and community groups. Opportunity is abundant for geography to contribute to the ambitious goal of eradicating child poverty in Scotland by 2030, recently described as a ‘national mission’ by the First Minister. Geography should not be amoral: as there is a necessity for geographical analysis to inform anti-poverty activity, it is incumbent upon geographers with an interest in poverty and related issues to make impactful contributions beyond the Academy.
期刊介绍：
The Scottish Geographical Journal is the learned publication of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society and is a continuation of the Scottish Geographical Magazine, first published in 1885. The Journal was relaunched in its present format in 1999. The Journal is international in outlook and publishes scholarly articles of original research from any branch of geography and on any part of the world, while at the same time maintaining a distinctive interest in and concern with issues relating to Scotland. “The Scottish Geographical Journal mixes physical and human geography in a way that no other international journal does. It deploys a long heritage of geography in Scotland to address the most pressing issues of today."
