Join us for the annual Digital Geographies Research Group annual symposium.
The Digital Geographies Research Group of RGS-IBG invites submissions for its annual symposium on the theme Global Digital Geographies: Digitalising the Territorial and Territorialising the Digital.
By global digital geographies, we aim to foreground two interconnected dimensions of the global. First, we engage with geography’s long-standing critique of the binary conception of territory and network in the context of globalization—a debate that has gained renewed urgency and complexity with the advent of digitalisation and information technology. Second, we envision this as a global platform for scholarly exchange, bringing together diverse perspectives and insights on these topics from different regions around the world.
