Reminder:
Envisioning Geographies: Social and Cultural Perspectives
A symposium to mark the 20th birthday of the SCGRG
Friday 27th June, Department of Geography, UCL
This symposium is being organised by the Social and Cultural Geography
Research Group of the RGSIBG to celebrate the twentieth anniversary
of its establishment and to foster discussion of social and cultural
perspectives in contemporary human geography. Social and cultural
geographers have had a major impact within and beyond the discipline of
geography in the last twenty years. Reflecting upon that legacy, this
symposium seeks to address a number of questions, including: What does
current work by social and cultural geographers say about the place
of social and cultural perspectives within the discipline? How are social
and cultural geographers engaging with related work in the social
sciences and humanities? What key issues and challenges face those engaged
in producing the social and cultural geographies of the future?
The symposium will consist of four short papers (each of which will be
followed by questions and discussion) and a plenary discussion with
invited commentators. Speakers have been invited to share aspects of their
current work with a view to engaging in wider discussion about the
changing place of social and cultural perspectives within contemporary
human geography.
Participants: Peter Jackson (University of Sheffield); Sarah Whatmore (Open
University); David Sibley (University of Hull); Tracey Skelton
(Loughborough University) Mike Crang (University of Durham); Denis Cosgrove
(UCLA)
Fees: (includes buffet lunch)
