Dear all
Just a quick reminder about the 2015/16 Participatory Geography Research Group Dissertation Prize. This year, we invite both Undergraduate and Master dissertations for submission. If there is an Undergraduate
dissertation from the previous academic year you would like to submit, it still can be done.
Best wishes
Matej
Participatory Geographies Research Group (PyGyRG) Participatory Geographies Research Group is offering two prizes for best dissertation completed during the academic year 2015/16. We invite BOTH undergraduate and Master dissertation
entries and they will be assessed together, although considerations will be given to applicants’ academic levels. Entries must come from UK institutions. There is no limit of submissions per institution. Dissertations do not have to be completed as part of
Geography programmes, but they should demonstrate a constructive and explicit engagement with the idea of participatory geographies (see
http://www.pygyrg.co.uk/about-us for the Research Group’s statement). Please send your department’s entry/entries and an up-to-date contact details for the student to Dr Matej Blazek ([log in to unmask])
by email as an electronic file or as a downloadable link (for submissions over 5MB). No other documents are necessary. The winner of the first prize will receive £50 and both prizes will be offered bursaries to attend a Research Group’s event of choice in
the upcoming year - it is hoped that prize winners will use the opportunity to get more involved in the activities of the Research Group and/or in participatory geography more generally.
Deadline: 30 November 2016
