Four SSQRG Committee positions available
Space, Sexualities and Queer Research Group (SSQRG)
Call for new Treasurer, Secretary, Website and Communications Editor, and Postgraduate Representative
SSQRG was established in 2006 and aims to encourage geographic research andscholarship on topics related to sexualities, gender and queer studies. SSQRG hosts regular events, including conferences, seminars, reading weekends and social events. Please visit ourwebsite for more information about the group’s activities… ssqrg.org<http://ssqrg.org<http://ssqrg.org/>>
We are committed to making sure the committee represents a diverse range ofsexualities and genders, and we particularly welcome applications from early career researchers. Scholars from all disciplines are welcome to apply, as long as they have a clear research interest in the relation between sexuality and space. All honorary officers (i.e. Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, Website andCommunications Editor, Postgraduate Representative) ideally need to be based in the UK (or close enough to attend meetings at the RGS in London) to be able to make a commitment to fulfilling the full terms of their elected post.
All committee positions will be formally nominated and seconded by a member of the Research Group at our Annual General Meeting. This year, our AGM will take place on Thursday 29th August at 18.30 at the RGS-IBG Annual Conference in London. If you can’t attend the meeting but would like to stand for election to one of the available positions, then please email us and we will put your name forward for nomination.
We also have a number of spaces for the position of Ordinary Committee Member — and this is open to international scholars as well we those based in the UK.
If you would like more information about standing for any of these roles then please get in touch with the current Treasurer, Eleanor Wilkinson [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]><mailto:[log in to unmask]>.
Do get in touch if you think you might be interested.
Additionally, we are also happy to accept items for the agenda for the AGM. A preliminary agenda will be circulated prior to the meeting.
Best wishes,
