Geographies of Justice Research Group sponsorship: call for session proposals / session sponsorship

 

RGS-IBG Annual Conference, London 2019 

 

Dear all,

 

The RGS-IBG Geographies of Justice Research Group (GJRG) would like to invite expressions of interest for sponsored sessions for the RGS-IBG 2019 Annual Conference, which will take place in London from Wednesday 28 to Friday 30 August 2019.

 

The theme for the 2019 Annual Conference, chaired by Professor Hester Parr (University of Glasgow, UK), is Geographies of trouble / geographies of hope. You can find out more about the theme at:

https://www.rgs.org/research/annual-international-conference/chair-s-theme/

 

GJRG invite proposals for sessions or existing CFPs that will be sponsored by the Research Group.  Details about the aims of GJRG can be found here https://research.ncl.ac.uk/geographiesofjustice/aboutus/

 

When designing your session proposals please take note of the following:

 

  1.  A session cannot occupy more than two timeslots on the conference programme unless this has been pre-arranged with the RGS team. Those seeking more than one timeslot should consider co-sponsorship (i.e. splitting sponsorship so as to have a sponsor for each time slot).

  2.  Each attendee can only make two substantive contributions to the conference programme (e.g. as paper presenter, panel member, discussant). A substantive contribution is defined as one where the individual concerned needs to be present in the session room, and so can include session organiser if attendance is necessary. For individuals proposing multiple co-authored papers, an alternative presenter must be clearly nominated at the time of submitting the session/paper.

 

Please send expressions of interest including the below information by Wednesday 23th January. We will inform applicants of the outcome by 30th Wednesday

 

(i) Title of session;

(ii) Name of Co-sponsoring groups, if applicable

(iii) Name and Contact Details for Session Convenors

(iv) Abstract, outlining scope of session - 200 words max.

(v) Number of session timeslots that are sought – please note:  this year a session may not occupy more than 2 time slots unless this has been pre-agreed with the RGS.

(vi) Indication of session format

 

Proposals for, or questions about, GJRG sponsored sessions should be sent to Andy Williams WilliamsAPJ[at]Cardiff.ac.uk, Andy Davies A.D.Davies[at]Liverpool.ac.uk or Agatha Herman HermanA[at]cardiff.ac.uk

 

Best wishes,
