Dear all,

 

You may be interested in a new RGS-IBG Geographies of Justice Working Group that aims to raise the profile of research, scholarship, teaching and activism around issues of justice in contemporary human geography. The group advances a broad view of geographies of justice relevant across subfields of the discipline.

 

The first AGM will take place at the RGS-IBG Annual Conference this year (1-3 September) and we’re keen to recruit new members to the committee. We hope that you will be interested in joining the group. Our website is at http://www.geographiesofjustice.org.uk/ and there are details under ‘membership’ about how to join the group. Please feel free to forward this e-mail on to colleagues or research students who you think may be interested in joining.

 

If you are interested in becoming a committee member or in serving the group in any other way, please get in touch with Peter Hopkins ([log in to unmask]) or Rachel Pain ([log in to unmask])

 

At the Annual Conference we are also holding a panel session to launch the group called ‘Just Geographies?’ Panellists include Susan Smith, Paul Milbourne, Lawrence Berg and Danny Dorling.
