Political Geography Research Group conference session sponsorship
The Political Geography Research Group (PolGRG) is pleased to extend an invitation to sponsor sessions at the next Annual International Conference. The deadline for the submission of the session proposal is 5.00pm, 17 February 2026.
This year's conference will be chaired by Professor Peter Hopkins (Newcastle University, UK), on the theme of Geographies of inequalities: toward just places. It will take place in London at the Society and Imperial College London, and online, from Tuesday 1 to Friday 4 September 2026.
The deadline for the session proposal submission is 17 February at 5.00pm (to give us time to review the proposals before the final submission deadline set by the Society).
This year we would be interested to sponsor sessions which directly address the theme of this year's conference, Geographies of inequalities: toward just places’ or address questions related to political geography (political ecologies, space and power, conflict and security, coloniality, social movements, citizenship, political economy, territoriality, states and the state system, racialised politics, sexual politics, politics of religion).
This list of themes is an indicative one, but we are happy to sponsor sessions which are innovative, radical and encompass key emerging issues.
Sessions may take the form of presented papers, panels, practitioner forums, discussions, workshops, or something else. Innovative formats are encouraged. Session convenors will be notified in due course as to whether PolGRG will be able to provide sponsorship for your session.
If you have any specific queries regarding session proposal submissions, please feel free to get in touch with Raktim Ray (raktim.ray@ucl.ac.uk).
We look forward to receiving your submissions.
Deadline: 17 February 2026.
