Secretary: Elizabeth Gagen
elg26@aber.ac.uk
Elizabeth Gagen’s work as a geographer is embedded in social science principlies shared with sociology, psychology and child studies. A broad set of interests run through her research, including the social construction of childhood and youth, governing through emotions and education, mental health and wellbeing, gender and embodiment, and the history of psychology and psychiatry. Elizabeth’s early work focused on the role of child development theories and the way they shaped emerging systems of education and play in Progressive Era urban America. However, this has developed into a long-term interest in the way psychological knowledge is used to govern childhood and she has continued to explore this relationship in the context of contemporary education, looking at the effects of popular psychology and neuroscience in the development of emotional education cirricula.

Negar Elodie Behzadi is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Geographical Sciences at the University of Bristol. She is a feminist political geographer interested in unravelling the ways in which intersectional forms of exclusion and marginalisation are produced, reproduced and contested in stressed environments.
