The sessions will complement a second event presently being planned for Sept 5-9 in Greece (organised with Costis Hadjimichalis) that will focus on the structures/substantive content/praxis of disciplines (Anglo-American/English language hegemony, development of theories/ideas, dissemination via publishing and conferences, praxis and pedagogy, etc). Details to follow shortly once confirmed. As such, we welcome abstracts for the RGS-IBG sessions and expressions of interest for the workshops in Greece.
