    Dear Margaret, Jess and Rosie,

    

      As research group convenors, you'll have received a note from the RGS 

    office about the panel I'm organising for the 2019 conference. I'm 

    hoping that you would be able to send out this call for roundtable 

    participants for the first session of the panel, to be followed by an 

    international roundtable with participants from Oceania, mainland 

    Europe, South Africa and Latin America.

    

      The panel is 'Furthering the decolonising debate in geography'

    

      This informal roundtable discussion aims to provide an open and

    inclusive space to discuss the advances and constraints within

    geography’s distinctive sub-disciplines to decolonising practices,

    curriculum, and diversity issues. The roundtable aims to offer a space

    for sharing perspectives and a forum for discussing ways forward.

    

      The roundtable comprises two sessions.

    

      Session I: Participants different subdisciplinary research groups are 

    invited to

    talk about their subfield’s engagement with and responses to 

    decolonising debates

    and agendas for change. Participants are invited to draw on the specific 

    research

    agendas of their sub-discipline, to sharing ideas and generate 

    discussion

    across subfields.

    

      Session II: Geographers from around the world are invited to discuss 

    how the

    decolonising dynamic is approached and addressed in their country or 

    language

    area. Currently we have participants from Latin America, Europe and New 

    Zealand,

    speaking to a range of themes and subdisciplines.

    

    Do feel free to pass on this information to others in your geography 

    networks!

    

      Best

      Sarah
