Call for Sessions
Members of the geographical and related communities are invited to propose sessions for the RGS-IBG Annual International Conference 2013. If you have any questions about proposing a session for conference, please contact the organisers at AC2013@rgs.org.
The RGS-IBG Annual International Conference 2013 has a theme of new geographical frontiers, inviting exploration of the many ways that frontier can be employed as a concept, a metaphor or as a point of empirical focus, such as in geographical theory, inter-disciplinary research, and the contribution and impact of geography in society and economy.
Session organisers and delegates are invited to submit session and paper proposals to the conference, especially those which contribute to: how we theorise (think) and practise (do) geography; the contribution geography makes to addressing challenges that humanity faces and the need to go beyond inter-disciplinary boundaries and geographical frontiers to research new topics in innovative ways.
The deadline for proposing a session was 13 February 2013, and session proposals are no longer being accepted.
13 February 2013 - Deadline for submitting sessions (with paper and author information, including abstracts) to the conference organisers.
End of March 2013 - Conference organisers confirm inclusion of proposed sessions in the conference programme
12 April 2013 - Deadline for submitting individual paper proposals to 'open' sessions organised by conference planning committee
End of April 2013 - Conference organisers publish the provisional programme and timetable for feedback. The programme is expected to reach "final" status by early July 2013.
