RGS-IBG ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE 2015
RGS-IBG, University of Exeter, 2015
Provocations and Possibilities ‘in’ and ‘of’ the Anthropocene:
Postgraduate Snapshots
Sponsored by the Social and Cultural Geography Research Group and the Postgraduate Forum
Session convenors: Katie Ledingham, Suzanne Hocknell, Emma Spence
The aim of this session is to explore the different ways in which postgraduate researchers in Social and Cultural Geography are both engaging with and attending to the manifold provocations posed by the concept of the Anthropocene. We are encouraging postgraduates
to present a brief ‘snapshot’ of their work (whether a photograph, a quotation, a field diary entry, an image of an object, or mini-video clip) as a focus for 5-10 minute contributions that explore the ways in which their theoretical and/or methodological
interventions are acting to work with and against the rise of the Anthropocene. It is envisaged that the snapshot will be the main artefact around which each contribution is orientated. We encourage participants to fully utilise their snapshots in ways which
further deepen and enrich the developing trajectories, tensions, and textures associated with the mobilisation of this concept. Applicants are requested to provide the session organisers with a snapshot of their research complete with an abstract and short
description of how the snapshot will be integrated into the presentation.
Please email prospective contributions to session organisers: Katie [[log in to unmask]], Suzanne [[log in to unmask]] and Emma [[log in to unmask]]
The deadline for submissions is 13th February 2015.

•A title for your ‘Snapshot’
•An abstract (max 150 words)
•A short description of how your presentation will use your snapshot (max 100 words)
•Your name, affiliation and contact details (email address)
•Year of research (Masters, PhD, 1, 2, 3, 3+)
