History and Philosophy of Geography Research Group (HPGRG) Sponsored Sessions
RGS-IBG Annual International Conference 2014, London
The History and Philosophy of Geography Research Group (HPGRG) invites suggestions for 12 sponsored sessions at the RGS-IBG Annual International Conference 2014 in London from 27th to 29th August 2014. The conference will focus on “Geographies of co-production” and be chaired by Professor Wendy Larner (University of Bristol).
We welcome suggestions for sessions across our remit, interpreted broadly, as the histories and/or philosophies of human geography, physical geography and associated fields. Proposals for co-sponsored sessions with other Research Groups are welcome.
HPGRG sponsorship can provide promotion for your session, help manage timetabling clashes, and enable bidding for funding for research group guests and awards for postgraduate presenters in your sessions.
Please send the following information to Isla Forsyth ([log in to unmask]) and Heike Jöns ([log in to unmask]) by Wednesday, 18th December 2013:
- title of proposed session (up to 15 words), name and affiliation of organizers, and abstract of c. 200-300 words
- indication of proposed format (e.g. papers or panel discussion, number of papers, use of discussants; for possibilities of session formats, see http://www.rgs.org/WhatsOn/ConferencesAndSeminars/Annual+International+Conference/Call+for+sessions+papers+and+posters/Conference+session+formats.htm)
- number of 1h 40 minutes slots requested
- possible co-sponsorship with other research groups
We will inform session organizers about HPGRG sponsorship and further procedures in early January. The deadline for submitting complete sessions to the Society is 21st February 2014. This would leave about six weeks for session organisers to send out a call for papers and finalise the session programme.
Please direct any questions to Isla Forsyth ([log in to unmask]) and Heike Jöns ([log in to unmask]). Further details about the Annual Conference 2014 can be found at www.rgs.org/AC2014 and about HPGRG at http://hpgrg.org.uk/.
The HPGRG committee looks forward to your submissions!
