Dear Colleagues,
We are inviting abstract submissions from postgraduate students to a TGRG sponsored session at the 2017 RGS IBG Annual International Conference entitled "Current and Emerging Research in Transport"
This session is aimed at postgraduate students conducting research in any aspect of transport geography and related topics. The session is open-themed but we particularly welcome papers which address the wider conference theme of 'Decolonising Geographical knowledges: opening geography out to the world' from a transport perspective.
This event is always well attended, with a wide range of presentations. Current and emerging research in transport provides a relaxed, supportive atmosphere for postgraduates at any stage of their research to present their work in progress. This session provides an excellent opportunity for postgraduate students to share their ideas and discuss synergies. They can also receive questions or comments which help them to improve the development of their research.
Oral presentations in this session may be shorter than in the main sessions, if demand warrants. Presenters are strongly encouraged to submit a paper for the Postgraduate Prize and priority will be given to papers intending to enter for the Postgraduate Prize.*
*The TGRG has a small prize for the best postgraduate presentation in any TGRG session at the RGS-IBG 2017 Conference. If you wish to enter for the Postgraduate Prize a full paper should be submitted to the Chair and Secretary of TGRG, prior to the conference date for judging. For more information and to find out about entry criteria please contact TGRG postgraduate rep Deborah Mifsud [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>
