The biennial conference of the New Zealand Geographical Society in conjunction with the Institute of Australian Geographers will be held in Christchurch, New Zealand 5-8 July 2010. Full details about the conference can be found at http://www.nzgs2010.org.nz/. The call for panel proposals and individual abstracts on any geographic theme is now open. The conference is open to geographers anywhere in the world and we especially encourage graduate students as well as established faculty to attend and present their work.
Panel proposals
Conference attendees are invited to submit proposals for panels, special sessions or workshops. Once approved by the programme committee, convenors will be responsible for issuing a call for papers and finding speakers. Each approved panel will be given one or two 80 minutes sessions of four speakers per session.
Panel proposals of a maximum of 400 words should be submitted through the conference website at http://www.nzgs2010.org.nz/ no later than 31 January 2010.
General abstract submission
Speakers who are not assigned to a specific panel should submit an abstract of 250 words through the conference website at http://www.nzgs2010.org.nz/ and the programme committee will assign the paper to an appropriately themed session. The deadline for submission of abstracts is 1 April 2010.
