Revolution, Evolution, Imposition? Thinking, Framing and Doing Digital Geographies

Book Tickets at http://dgwg.eventbrite.co.uk/

Whether framed as a “digital revolution”, an evolutionary change, or an imposition – digital technologies are shaping our world, and the way geographers live, research and teach within it. Join us as we explore the emergent contours of digital geographies, bringing together those working in all the subdisciplines of geography and beyond. A day of conceptualising and discussing the digital, mapping emergent research themes, networking and building community.

The day will feature:

• 1-2 minute ‘digital shorts’ to present your work.
• Panel discussion across subdisciplines.
• Afternoon: breakout discussions, the topics of which will be decided by participants.

Places are limited with registration closing 16^th June, and deadline for digital shorts 2^nd June.

The panel sessions will be live streamed, with panellists announced soon. The day includes lunch and refreshments. If you have any questions or requests please email [log in to unmask].
