Call for Papers: RGS (IBG) Annual International Conference, August
26-28 2009, Manchester UK
Session Sponsor: Postgraduate Forum
Session 1
Emerging Human Geography Research - Interactive Short Papers
Session 2
Emerging Physical Geography Research - Interactive Short Papers
Description:
The format for these sessions will be a short series of 5-minute paper
presentations (approximately 10 presentations per session) summarizing
a completed research project or research in progress. The
presentations will be followed by a 30- to 45-minute moderated
roundtable discussion among presenters and the audience.
This Interactive Short Paper (ISP) format has been adopted
successfully in other international forums, including annual meetings
of the American Association of Geographers (AAG). It is discussion-
oriented, and presenters are particularly encouraged to discuss
theoretical or methodological challenges associated with their research.
These sessions will provide an open and supportive environment for
postgraduates or new researchers presenting their work, and will also
allow them to seek in-depth feedback from an expert moderator, the
audience and other presenters. They will also provide the audience
with a rapid and intensive overview of emerging geography research,
and the opportunity to participate in discussion.
