With usual apologies for cross posting, please find below a call for papers for RGS-IBG 2013 from the Postgraduate Forum
RGS-IBG Annual Conference, London. 28-30th August, 2013.
Session Title: New Frontiers in Postgraduate Geography, sponsored by the Postgraduate Forum
Session Organiser: Sophie Yarker (Newcastle University)
Submissions are invited for paper presentations that cover new and emerging themes in postgraduate geography. Although not restricted to, presentations are welcomed that address the conference theme of New Geographical Frontiers. Presenters are particularly encouraged to raise theoretical or methodological challenges associated with their research as these sessions provide an unique opportunity for new researchers to present work-in-progress in an open and supportive environment and to gain individual feedback on their research from those with similar experiences.
This session provides a friendly and supportive space to present and explore the innovative and exciting geographical research being done by postgraduates and early career researchers. The format consists of a series of 15-minute presentations summarizing either a completed research project or research in progress followed by the opportunity for questions and a general discussion of new and emerging themes coming from the sessions. They also provide participants with a rapid and intensive update and overview of emerging postgraduate geographical research.
Please send a title and short abstract (max. 250 words) by 10th February 2013 to the session organiser Sophie Yarker ([log in to unmask])
