FINAL CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
2004 UGRG Postgraduate Conference
‘Emerging Urban Geographies: Connecting Theory, Politics and Practice’
The RGS-IBG Urban Geography Research Group has extended its deadline for its
forthcoming Postgraduate Conference on 27 November 2004, to be held in the
Department of Geography at Queen Mary, University of London.
The conference aims to emulate the success of the UGRG Postgraduate
Conference held at the University of Reading in 2002 by bringing together
research postgraduates working in UK universities to present their research
projects in a paper or poster presentation in a unique and supportive forum.
As a specific theme, this conference takes the connections between emerging
urban geographies and non-academic forms of thinking and practice as its
focus. We consider the diverse range of settings where current urban
geographical research may be received, applied and practised in two ways:
firstly, through small group discussions of participants’ poster
presentations; secondly, through a panel made up of academics and
practitioners from Arts Council England, the Office of the Deputy Prime
Minister and the Greater London Authority. Jon May (QMUL), Donald McNeill
(KCL), Mike Raco (Reading) and Simon Reid-Henry (QMUL) will be attending the
conference.
Participants should complete the attached conference registration form which
details how they would like to participate in the conference by presenting
either a poster or paper presentation. The conference cost is £5. Travel
bursaries are also available.
NEW DEADLINE FOR GENERAL PARTICIPATION: 19 November 2004
As a minimum for participation, all postgraduate conference registrants must
display a poster on the conference day that illustrates the ‘urban’ aspects
of their research. Posters should be no larger than A2 size.
