>Dear All,
>
>Call for Papers
>30th Congress of the International Geographical Union, 15-20 August 2004,
>Glasgow, UK.
>
>The Transport Geography Research Group (of the Royal Geographical Society
>with the Institute of British Geographers), the
>Arbeitskreis Verkehr (Transportation Group of the German Geographical
>Society) and the Transportation Specialty Group (of the Association of
>American Geographers) request papers for their sessions on Sustainable
>Transport Geographies.
>
>The convenors wish to invite papers which address this topic in the
>broadest sense. Papers dealing with international efforts to grapple with
>the difficulties involved with making transport more environmentally,
>economically and socially sustainable are most welcome, as are
>contributions dealing with the epistemology and ontology of the
>sub-discipline.
>
>There is often a sense that transport geography is peripheral to the
>primary concerns of geographers and other transport scholars, and how far
>is the sub-discipline itself, in its current largely positivist and
>empiricist form, sustainable? Should more attempts be made to engage with
>wider theoretical concerns of social scientists and, if so, how and why?
>
>The session will consist of four 80 minute modules, which will contain 20
>minute papers and a keynote address (the recently established Brian Hoyle
>Lecture in Transport Geography), to be given by Dr John Preston.
>
>Please submit abstracts of no more than 200 words to Dr Iain Docherty,
>Secretary of the TGRG
>(<mailto:[log in to unmask]>[log in to unmask]).
>Abstracts should include:
>· your name and those of any co-authors;
>· your institutional or other affiliation(s);
>· your contact details (email, fax, and telephone numbers).
>
>Please submit abstracts to Iain no later than Thursday 15 January 2004.
