Call for Submissions on “Current and Emerging Research in Transport”
RGS-IBG Annual International Conference, 1 – 4 September 2020, London, UK.
Session sponsored by Transport Geography Research Group.
We are inviting abstract submissions from postgraduate students to a TGRG sponsored session at the 2020 RGS-IBG Annual International Conference titled “Current and Emerging Research in Transport”.
This session is aimed at postgraduate students conducting research in any aspect of transport geography. It is an open-themed session, but we particularly welcome contributions which address the wider conference theme (“borders, borderlands and bordering”) from a transport perspective. Our event hosts a wide range of presentations and is always well attended. 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, to share ideas and to discuss synergies. There is no requirement to prepare a full paper for this session.
The TGRG traditionally awards a postgraduate prize for the best postgraduate presentation in any TGRG session at the RGS-IBG 2020 Annual Conference. All postgraduate presentations in the “Current and Emerging Research in Transport” session will automatically be eligible for the prize; if you do not want to be considered for the prize, however, please state so in your submission. More information on the postgraduate prize will be shared closer to the conference date.
If you would like to present in this session, please submit the following information to the session convenors by Friday 7th February (17:00) 2020.
• Title
• Authors, affiliations and email addresses
• Presenter
• Abstract (up to 300 words)
If you have any questions, please get in touch with the TGRG postgraduate representatives and session convenors:
Suzanne Maas (University of Malta) - [log in to unmask]
