Dear All,
The Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) Postgraduate Forum (RGS-PGF) invites proposals for sponsored/co-sponsored sessions for the RGS-IBG Annual International Conference 2019. The 2019 conference will be held at the RGS-IBG in London from Wednesday 28th August to Friday 30th August 2019, with pre-conference events taking place on Tuesday 27th August 2019. It will be chaired by Professor Hester Parr, from the University of Glasgow, with the focus being on ‘geographies of trouble / geographies of hope’. More information can be found at:
https://www.rgs.org/research/annual-international-conference/
Full call for sessions can be found here:
https://www.rgs.org/research/annual-international-conference/programme-(1)/
In keeping with the ethos of the Postgraduate Forum we would particularly welcome different or non-standard, highly interactive sessions that are of equal benefit to the audience and the presenter. The RGS-PGF can sponsor up to a maximum of 12 sessions; each session lasts 1 hour and 40 minutes. If you are interested in sponsorship for a session, please send proposals to Faye Shortland ([log in to unmask]) and Caitlin Hafferty ([log in to unmask]).
Proposals should include:
I. Title of session;
II. Name of co-sponsoring groups (if applicable);
III. Name, affiliation, and contact details for session convenors;
IV. Abstract outlining scope of session (max 300 words, excl. references);
V. Indication of preferred organisation of session (the more creative the better);
VI. Indication of any non-standard arrangements.
The Postgraduate Forum encourages postgraduates to propose sessions. This is a great opportunity to organise a session and the Postgraduate Forum is happy to provide help with the organisation of the sessions should it be required.
The full guidelines for organising sessions can be found at:
https://www.rgs.org/research/annual-international-conference/programme-(1)/guidance-for-session-organisers/
The deadline for proposals is Friday 15th February 2019 and we will be aiming to inform session organisers of sponsorship by the end of the week commencing 18th February 2019. Any questions should be directed to either Faye Shortland ([log in to unmask]) or Caitlin Hafferty ([log in to unmask]). We look forward to receiving your session proposals.
Best wishes,
Faye Shortland, University of Birmingham and Caitlin Hafferty, Cardiff University
