Postgraduate Forum Mid-Term Conference
This year’s theme is ‘Geographical Reflections’. We would like postgraduates to critically explore the nature of their own work with a view to considering the past, present and future geographies within their sub-discipline and within the wider discipline. This could include: reflecting on how postgraduate work has furthered debates in geography; how postgraduates have developed new and innovative methodologies; how postgraduates have challenged previous geographical work; and how postgraduates feel the discipline will develop in the future. However, postgraduates should feel comfortable presenting on any theme. The central aim of the conference is to provide a supportive environment in which to present your research.
