Subject: 2017 Workshop & Dissertation Prize
Dear all,
Here are two news items from the Race, Culture & Equality Working Group (RACE) regarding the RGS-IBG 2017 Annual Conference and the 2017 Dissertation Prize.
CONFERENCE:
The RACE working group are currently planning a workshop on Coloniality in the Academy (Activism, Teaching, Research) on Tuesday 29 August 2017, in advance of the RGS-IBG 2017 conference. Please let us know if you would like to get involved (contact James Esson [log in to unmask]).
Further, in relation to this year's conference theme, 'Decolonising Geographical Knowledges', members of the RACE working group have authored a critical commentary and curated a forum for the RGS-IBG journal AREA.
Details for both will be posted on the website and mailing list, and we will also soon let you know the date for our next AGM.
DISSERTATION PRIZE:
This year we are again looking for entries for our dissertation prize. Please circulate this call widely!

The Race, Culture & Equality (RACE) Working Group would like to recognise research conducted by undergraduate students on any issue related to the geographies of race, racism and equality. Nominations are requested from Dissertation Supervisors or Heads of Department at any UK Geography department. There is no limit of submissions per institution, but nominated dissertations should not be submitted for consideration for any other RGS-IBG prizes. Students taking joint degrees are eligible to enter for the prize, provided that at least half their course is in Geography. The dissertations should be circa 10,000 words in length and submitted for formal assessment in the current academic year. Dissertations will be evaluated by five members of the RACE Committee. The winner will receive a cash prize.
Please send the following via email or link (e.g. Dropbox) to Dr James Esson (Loughborough University) at [log in to unmask]; 1) a single PDF file of the dissertation; 2) a copy of the appropriate departmental dissertation regulations; and 3) contact details for the student (post-September 2017). Nominations should include “RACE UG dissertation submission” as the email subject.
Deadline: 22 July 2017

With best wishes,
