RGS-IBG Annual Conference Tuesday 26 August 2025 to Friday 29 August 2025 – Political Geography Research Group (PolGRG)

Organisers: Bina Khapung, Northumbria University and Anil Sindhwani, Durham University 

We invite postgraduate students conducting research in Political Geography to present their work in this session, designed to provide a supportive and relaxed platform at a major academic conference. Our intention is to foster an environment where connections between Masters, PhD students, and the wider Political Geography community can be made.

We welcome papers that discuss initial research aims/design, engage with methodological and/or theoretical questions, or that draw upon empirical findings. Submissions are welcome from all stages of postgraduate study, with no restrictions on geographical or temporal focus.

The sessions will be designed to encourage audience questions, as well as the sharing of experience and ideas. By showcasing the dynamic contributions of postgraduate researchers, we aim to create an inclusive and collaborative space for academic growth.
