The Urban Geography Research Group (UGRG) of the RGS-IBG seeks proposals for
sessions at next year's RGS-IBG Annual International Conference, to be held

The theme of the conference is 'Global social justice and environmental

of

c) Poster sessions (informal presentations)

Each proposal should comprise of:
- abstract/outline of session proposal and the topics or themes it would aim
to
address
- the format of the session (i.e. paper session, poster session, panel
discussion, practitioner forum, etc.)
Proposals for sessions should be emailed, by no later than end of day 9

After receiving proposals, the UGRG Committee will select those session
proposals it will sponsor. The UGRG may sponsor proposals for up to three
sessions, and up to two joint sessions. (e.g. joint with another research
group
or joint with the postgraduate community).
We look forward to seeing some interesting and innovative session proposals!
