Hi critters,
please don't forget this call for papers for RGS-IBG in London 28-30 August 2019
Session title:
Conveying Geographical Collaborations: Display, Curate and Create
Geography’s long-standing relationship with working with - often marginalised - individuals, groups and communities has led to a diverse set of practices around the communication of research ideas. The growth of interest in developing creative conversations regarding the coming together of geographical knowledges and practice (Hawkins et al, 2015) in conjunction with the development of collaborative and public geographies (Craggs et al, 2013; Fuller and Askins, 2010) leads the discipline to question the range of ways in which ideas and practices come together. How do we as geographers do to engage with the world and to collaborate with others? How do we do to translate research ideas and make them travel? Which methods of displaying, curating and creating do we use and why? This session seeks to bring together those interested in sharing the ways in which they have worked in collaboration to display, curate and create research ideas. In doing so, this session seeks to chart some of the hopeful geographies of research collaboration alongside the complications and difficulties embedded in these types of projects.
Possible themes for the session include, but are not limited to:
- Co-curating museum displays and exhibitions
- Creative writing spaces and developing prose
- Developing and playing games
- Generating art and spaces of co-production
- Performance and theatre
- Archival spaces and writing new histories
- Moving images and other visual materials
- Conversation pieces
- Walking as a collaborative and curative methodology
We would strongly encourage proposals that include interactive elements and would be happy to discuss create session formats.
Titles and abstracts of no more than 200 words, affiliations and emails of each author, should be sent to both Cheryl McGeachan ([log in to unmask]) and Ebba Högström ([log in to unmask]) by 8th February 2019. We will notify the authors of selected papers as soon as we can after this date.
