Likewise they note the strides being made and the desire among geographers to build on these and enhance both geographical studies and geography’s standing academically and professionally. The key concerns they identify include the lack of skills among Turkish geographers to conduct high quality research and to produce high quality publications, the need for a national forum for geographers and new avenues for publications, increased engagement in and presentations at international geography conferences, and limitations in the current state of postgraduate education for strong geography graduates, which needs to be brought into twenty-first century geographical thinking and practices. This reflective and self-critical analysis has led, in an overall climate of enhancing higher education, to a set of aspirations for which the vital underpinning is raising the grade in postgraduate studies in geography. This move is strongly supported by geographers across Turkey, but it needs to be founded on the best practices drawn from around the world. This book provides a start in this process
