Hi all
Typically I now have an odd number of papers and need some more in order
to fill the allocated session slots.
As noted previously short presentations on projects under-formation
& work-in-progress are particularly welcome for a more practical
'Transition Workshop' which we hope to run in addition to a more
'traditional' academic the session.
Or if you'd like to be part of a panel discussion on 'Transition Towns'
that'd be equally great.

As part of a continuing bid to place Geography at the forefront of the
transition to a lower-carbon future, which is both environmentally &
socially accountable, this session invites action-oriented interventions
on
Universities and particularly Geography departments IN transition:
What are we doing? What can we do? What are we struggling with? How can we
do better?
Universities OF transition: eg. Transition (Town) Universities
Transition research: How does our research relate / adapt to the
imperatives of climate change and its wider associated environmental and
social concerns?
Academics and activists working to create transition beyond
Geography: How can we engage and learn from them?
We want to open up the (im)possibilities we often find ourselves caught
in, and ask what we can do differently. Moreover, we are keen to
facilitate the sustainable attendance and participation of those who chose
not to travel to attend, through the use of web-casting and video-linking;
as well as deciding the final content and format of the session in
a participatory stylee via our blog:
