RGS-IBG Postgraduate Forum

The RGS-IBG Annual Conference, held in late August each year, is host to a range of Postgraduate Forum (PGF) Sessions. The PGF sessions provide a forum for postgraduate students to present their research in progress and offer the opportunity to obtain constructive feedback from peers and academics in a supportive environment. The sessions are designed to showcase the diversity of new research being undertaken at both UK and international universities. Presentations are encouraged from all areas of geographical research including sub-disciplines as diverse as social, cultural, environmental and physical geography. Each session is themed around the abstracts submitted and papers are up to 15 minutes in duration followed by 5 minutes for questions and feedback.

Emerging Human Geography Research - Interactive Short Papers We are delighted to announce that Prof. Noel Castree and Prof. Kevin Ward (University of Manchester) have agreed to moderate the sessions on Human Geography. This is a great opportunity to present and discuss your work with eminent researchers in the field, no matter what stage your research is at.
Emerging Physical Geography Research - Interactive Short Papers We are also happy to announce that Prof. Stuart Lane (Durham University ) has agreed to be our discussion moderator. Prof. Lane is actually chairing the entire conference, so we're very lucky to have him participating in our session! This is a wonderful opportunity for physical geographers to discuss their work with someone at the leading edge of the field.
