Call for Papers: RGS-IBG Annual International Conference 2018
"Innovative Methods in Geographical Research"
Jo Hickman Dunne, Loughborough University
Sponsored by: Postgraduate Forum
Research and geographical methods are constantly evolving in response to everchanging and pressing global issues of which geographers place themselves at the forefront.
Moreover, to produce world leading and internationally recognised research, as measured by the Research Excellence Framework (REF), geographers are having to devise new creative and innovative methods through which to conduct research. This includes that which
is integrative and interdisciplinary, as well as participatory in nature (Clifford et al. 2016).
In recent years and in different fields of geography, the landscape of geographical inquiry has evolved and new methods have been developed. As such, we particularly welcome papers which engage with untraditional methods, and those which provide a fresh perspective
on geographical methodologies.
This session will take a traditional conference format, offering time for presentations and questions from the audience. Presenters will have 15 minutes to present their paper followed by 5 minutes
of questions from the audience. Presenters are encouraged to explore different mediums of presentation, such as videos and interactive demonstrations of methods, where appropriate.
Abstracts of no more than 250 words should be submitted to Jo Hickman Dunne [log in to unmask] by
Wednesday 14th February 2018.
The RGS-IBG Annual Conference 2018 takes place in Cardiff between 28th - 31st
