The Society’s 31 Research Groups bring together active researchers on particular aspects of geography and related disciplines. They support and promote their area of geography by organising events, offering dissertation prizes and providing support and funding for postgraduates.
Here is a roundup of their recent activity:

The Historical Geography Research Group (HGRG) and the Race Culture and Equality Working Group are sponsoring an online event Learning and Teaching About the Geography of Africa, which provides a forum for challenging myopic approaches to the continent. The HGRG also recently held an online seminar series covering topics such as academic writing, turning your thesis into a book, and historical geography beyond the archive.
