Geography and Anthropology share many of the same interests, including the interaction between environment and society, the global economy, development and climate change.
At AnthroSchools, we base our resources on the AQA A-Level Geography specification and have created the following resources.
We value teacher feedback of any kind on these resources. Please email anthroschools@ucl.ac.uk for any suggestions on how we can improve these resources or to suggest any resources you would like to see in the future.
