With just one week to go until the 2022 Annual International Conference, we have put together some programme highlights from across the week which you won’t want to miss.
The programme features a range of exciting sessions engaging with the conference theme of Geographies beyond recovery.
This year’s plenaries kick off with Tal Peretz (Auburn University, USA), whose lecture Getting from here to allyship will ask: when considering community recovery after discrimination, what is the place of those not personally impacted?
Other plenary lectures and panels (convened by Chair of Conference, Rachel Pain) include contributions from:
We also have a number of journal-sponsored lectures and panels including:
There will also be a stream of policy-focused sessions on levelling up and recovery, convened by the Centre for Urban and Regional Development Studies (CURDS) at Newcastle University and sponsored by the Government Geography Profession.
Highlights from the 350 sessions for those attending in person include a day of film screenings and discussion in the Northern Stage theatre, six exhibitions on campus, and a number of fieldtrips and walking tours.
The chair’s plenary and journal-sponsored sessions will be live in the Curtis Auditorium and live-streamed via the online platform.
Online delegates can join any of our hybrid or online sessions via the ‘Join session’ button sessions in the online programme.
Finally, don’t forget to join the conversation on Twitter using the hashtag #RGSIBG22.
Whether you’re a session chair, speaker, or attendee, we encourage you to share your thoughts about the sessions, ideas which inspire you, and any interesting research.
