The Melbourne Human Geography Reading group will meet at 3:30 pm on Friday 30 March. The reading will be introduced by Christian Kull (Monash). Christian will introduce and lead discussion about the paper:
Unruh J D 2006 Land Tenure and the "Evidence Landscape" in Developing Countries /Annals of the Association of American Geographers/ 96(4), pp.754772
In the past we used to put copies of the reading on this website, thus simplifying the task of getting hold of the paper. However, a publisher has objected to this, so I now have to leave you to get the paper through the University library. Sorry.
Elissa will send a reminder in due course. Please note that I shall be abroad from 13-27 march, so please do not send requests for copies to me. Ask Elissa instead!!!
