Practising Political Geographies, 12th-13th May 2009
A workshop organized by the Political Geography Research Group of the
RGS-IBG at the Department of Geography, UCL
This workshop will be a focal point for discussion of political geography.
It will be of interest to established, mid- and early career scholars and to
those undertaking PhD research within, or related to, political geography.
Day one will feature:
* a keynote talk from Professor Stuart Elden (Department of Geography,
Durham University) reflecting on key issues in political geography
* responses from scholars in the field
* reading groups on recent agenda-setting research
Day two will focus on methodological and early career issues, with panels
on:
* key issues in methodology
* completing a PhD
* making the transition to an academic career
* writing and publishing
There will be plenty of time for plenary discussion and networking on both
days.
The workshop will begin with lunch at 12pm on Tuesday 12th May and conclude
with tea/coffee at 3pm on Wednesday 13th May. It's free to attend, but
registration is required (contact: Alan Ingram [log in to unmask]).
Refreshments and lunch will be provided on both days. Further details will
be posted on the PolGRG website.
We hope you will be able to take part and look forward to seeing you in May.
