Call for Sessions - PopGRG Research Group RGS-IBG Annual International Conference 2020 The Population Geography Research Group invites proposals for sponsored sessions at the RGS-IBG Annual International Conference 2020. The conference will take place in London from Tuesday 1 to Friday 4 September 2020. The 2020 Conference Chair is Professor Uma Kothari (University of Manchester, UK) and the conference theme is borders, borderlands and bordering: https://www.rgs.org/research/annual-international-conference/chair-s-theme/ Population geography is largely concerned with how borders and bordering shapes population movements, health and change and we welcome sessions that align with the theme in diverse and creative ways. This might include, but is not limited to: · Human and non-human population migrations across, within and between borders; · Lifecourse transitions and inequalities · Ageing and population health · Population geography and intersectionality · Embodied geographies of life and death · Conceptualising the border in population geography, or de-bordering population geography · The geopolitics of population · Ethical dilemmas in working with epistemic/ data categories We particularly welcome sessions that reflect population issues and methodologies in the global South; sessions that use innovative formats and are convened in collaboration with other research groups. We also encourage sessions led by and focused on postgraduate research. If you are a postgraduate researcher and would like support with your proposal, please contact Bonnie Buyuklieva : [log in to unmask] More information about the PopGRG can be found on our website https://popgeog.org/home/ and Twitter feed @pgrg_rgsibg.
