Call for Papers and Symposium Announcement:
The Citizenship and Belonging Research Cluster of the School of
Geography, University of Leeds, is pleased to announce a one-day
Postgraduate Symposium on Researching Citizenship and Belonging
Tuesday, 14th March, 2006
School of Geography, University of Leeds
Themes of inclusion, exclusion, nationhood, identity and scale continue
to grow in interest to thinkers in geography and its cognate
disciplines. This one-day symposium provides an opportunity for
postgraduates pursuing these themes to share reflections on recent,
present, and future research and to learn from each other's diverse
experiences, epistemologies, and approaches in an informal environment.
We invite abstract submissions of papers and posters from postgraduates
researching themes of citizenship and belonging in disciplines across
the humanities and social sciences. We encourage participation from
students (at all stages of their degrees) who conduct qualitative as
well as quantitative research, or employ a mixture of these approaches.
Papers and posters should focus on methodological and theoretical
approaches to the research of citizenship and belonging, and papers
should be 10-20 minutes long.
Potential research themes may include, but are not limited to
-participatory research agendas
-environmental citizenship
-textual analysis
-putting theory into practice
-exploring positionality
-reflections from the field
-GIS and modelling
-queer, feminist, and postcolonial perspectives
-(re)thinking civil society and community
Please send abstracts of no more than 150 words by email to Max Andrucki
<[log in to unmask]> no later than Friday, January 27, 2006.
