Geographies of Leisure and Tourism Research Group - Geographies of slowing down, rehumanising and challenging inequalities in the leisure and tourism academy
Location: University of Westminster
Further information, including registration details, to be announced.
Political Geography Research Group – Politicising political geography: bridges, dialogues, solidarity
Tuesday 1 September, 10.30am-4.00pm BST.
Location: Drayson Room, Royal Geographical Society (with IBG)
As a Research Group, we want to create space for academics from across the field of political geography to take part in important conversations about the world and the discipline. PolGRG members are eager to build on ongoing conversations and see them translated into real-world outcomes.
Themes will cover academic responsibility, the place of research and higher education in a changing geopolitical conjuncture, the newly emboldened Islamophobias, racisms, and far-right politics in the UK and in a transnational context, and other urgent issues.
Rather than an extension of the conference’s predominant panel layout, this workshop will incorporate various formats, such as participatory exercises, roundtables, and article discussions.
There would also be space for conversations around professional development, navigating the discipline, and teaching political geography.
Registration details to be announced shortly.
