Hi all,

 

Becky (from DARG and works here) and I are going to met tomorrow to draft something for the global south proposal.  I will then circulate it to all who have said they have an interest.

 

Eleanor- can you take a lead in organising the (non)-reading weekend...

 

We have some money in our account so we should be able to offer some funding in the bids.

Hi all,

 

I suppose if we want to have a reading (non-)weekend we would like to have it sponsered by the RGS? We'd then need to get some proposal together quite soon.

 

Eleanor, have you received any responses to your suggestion about reading something on the senses? At the AGM we also considered having a reading weekend on sexualities and transnational/global south/planetary... relations (possibly in collaboration with the Developing Areas Research Group).

 

Both topics could be exciting. Maybe people could indicate if they would be interested (and in which topic), so we can start organising.

Dear all,

 

We need to finalise events that we want to see put on next year and get people started on organising them.  The closing date for applying for RGS grants is the 31st of October so we need to be quite quick in doing this. 

 

I attended the research sub-groups meeting yesterday.  Key points for us are:

 

1.       There will be two deadlines set for the sessions for the IBG.  These will be shared by research groups to avoid confusion.  The first is an expression of interest deadline, where people get in touch if they want a session to be sponsored.  This deadline is the 18th of November.  The second will be a submission of the proposed session with abstracts etc., this deadline will be the 3rd of February.   

2.       Do we want to nominate anyone for a RGS medal/award?  The deadline is the 28th of February.  Can you send suggestions to me and I will bring them to the committee meeting. Details are on the RGS website.

3.       Geography today on the RGS website- if we are doing exciting work let the RGS know and they will profile it.

4.       Geographical magazine is also the place to publicise research and activities to a broad audience.

5.       If people do interesting local fieldtrips the RGS is trying to draw together a database of these for teachers to use.

 

More detailed minutes with lots of grant opportunities will be circulated soon as long as everything I have forgotten.

 

Best

 

Kath
