Political Geography Research Group - Friday 9 February
The Political Geography Research Group (PolGRG) of the RGS-IBG is pleased to extend an invitation to sponsor sessions at the next RGS-IBG Annual International Conference.
The conference will be chaired by Professor Stephen Legg (University of Nottingham, UK) on the theme of Mapping. It will take place online and in London at the Society and Imperial College London, from Tuesday 27 August to Friday 30 August 2024. More info available here.
Submissions for the conference close on Friday 1 March 2024. Full guidance for proposing and organising a session can be found here.
The deadline for session proposal submissions to PolGRG is Friday 9 February 2024 (to give us time to review the proposals before the final submission deadline set by the RGS-IBG). Please email submissions to James Riding (james.riding@newcastle.ac.uk), including session title and abstract (max 300 words), name(s) and affiliation(s) of the session convenor(s), contact details, and format of the session. Please also indicate if you are applying or intend to apply for sponsorship with any other research group.
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 or not PolGRG will be able to provide sponsorship for your session. We can sponsor up to 12 timeslots. Please bear in mind that sessions cannot occupy more than two slots in the whole programme. If sponsorship can be provided, then you have until Friday 1 March 2023 to provide the full session details (with all proposed papers and presenters) for final submission to the RGS-IBG via the online portal found on the conference website.
If you have any specific queries regarding session proposal submissions, please feel free to contact James Riding (james.riding@newcastle.ac.uk).
