Political Geography Research Group

The RGS-IBG Political Geography Research Group (PolGRG) is pleased to extend an invitation to sponsor sessions at next year's Annual International Conference.

Full guidance for proposing and organising a session can be found here: Annual Conference 2025.

The deadline for the session proposal submission is Friday 7 February 2025. Please submit your session proposal through the PolGRG Call for Session Sponsorship. Sessions may take the form of presented papers, panels, practitioner forums, discussions, workshops, or something else. Innovative formats are encouraged. Session convenors will be notified in due course as to whether or not PolGRG will be able to provide sponsorship for your session.

This year we would be interested to sponsor sessions which directly address the theme of this year's conference 'Geographies of Creativity/Creative Geographies', or address questions related to political geography (political ecologies, space and power, conflict and security, coloniality, social movements, citizenship, political economy, territoriality, states and the state system, racialised politics, sexual politics, politics of religion). This list of themes is an indicative one, but we are happy to sponsor sessions which are innovative, and radical and encompass key emerging issues.

Sessions may take the form of presented papers, panels, practitioner forums, discussions, workshops, or something else. Innovative formats are encouraged. Session convenors will be notified in due course as to whether or not PolGRG will be able to provide sponsorship for your session. Please bear in mind that each session cannot occupy more than two slots in the whole programme.

If you have any specific queries regarding session proposal submissions, please feel free to get in touch with Raktim Ray (raktim.ray@ucl.ac.uk).
