Dr Keri Wong is joined by Dr Alex Standish to discuss the relationship between disciplinary knowledge and school subjects in the curriculum, which is also a key focus in a book he has co-edited, “What Should Schools Teach? Disciplines, subjects and the pursuit of truth”, part of the “Knowledge and the Curriculum” series published by UCL Press.

As a lecturer in Geography Education, we also hear Dr Standish's views about the subject’s epistemology and given current global events, why gaining a deeper appreciation of it really matters right now.
