Abstract
This paper intends to look at the development of the subject content of the English Geography National Curriculum (GNC) through the lens of discourse analysis (Fairclough, 2003) to highlight the extent to which curriculum documents incorporate a range of politically or ideologically derived (whether conscious or unconscious) assumptions about geographical knowledge.
