Registration Form https://forms.gle/afGBjr6ZCqm3vHQZ8

 

The IPSA RC 41 & 15 Fifth International Workshop in Moscow is organized by the Center for Spatial Analysis in International Relations (Institute for International Studies, MGIMO University) as part of the grant program № 075-15-2020-930 “Human Capital Multidisciplinary Research Center” provided by the Russian Ministry of Higher Education and Science.

The three-day workshop is designed to bring together leading scholars on political geography and geopolitics to discuss the methodological development of the discipline. The workshop topics will include:

  • the place of political geography & geopolitics among social and Earth sciences;
  • reshaping methodological approaches in political geography & geopolitics;
  • representing, visualizing, and interpreting geopolitical data;
  • historical and archival research in political geography & geopolitics;
  • geotagged surveys and interviews in political geography & geopolitics;
  • observations and measurement in the field of political geography & geopolitics;
  • geocoding of qualitative data at case studies in political geography & geopolitics;
  • spatial statistical analysis, spatial econometrics and GIS technologies in political geography & geopolitics;
  • spatial content and discourse analysis in political geography & geopolitics.

Unlike open international conferences, the Workshop framework is designed to limit participation to a smaller and rather select group of invitees – 20 to 30 people – each bringing to bear their disciplinary expertise or area studies specialization. Accordingly, the Moscow Workshop will be conducted in a Round Table format, with scholarly presentations divided into panel sessions, with 4 – 5 papers at each session, followed by additional discussion among the academic participants and the MGIMO University student and faculty campus audience. Once the panelists have concluded their presentations (15 minutes each), a designated discussant will then respond with a brief set of oral comments (10 minutes), after which each panel chair will open the floor to questions and feedback from the audience.

Anyone wishing to participate in the 2022 IPSA RC 41 & 15 Moscow Workshop and to contribute by addressing any of the above topics is invited to submit an initial paper proposal using the registration form at https://forms.gle/afGBjr6ZCqm3vHQZ8

Final date for submission May 1, 2022

Notice of Acceptance May 15, 2022

Both onsite and online forms of participation will be available but we hope that onsite form will prevail. Acceptance is conditioned, however, upon the participant’s commitment to full, active attendance at all panel sessions and discussions throughout the two days of the Workshop, in addition to one paper presentation.

No registration fee is required. Organizers will provide the accepted participants with necessary visa assistance, printing materials and coffee breaks. Participants of the 2022 Moscow International Workshop are expected to cover all personal transportation, board and lodging arrangements and expenses.

On November, 11th-12th (Friday and Saturday) all Workshop sessions will be held on the campus of MGIMO University (76, Vernadskogo ave). The nearest subway stations are Yugo-Zapadnaya and Prospekt Vernadskogo (red line).

One day-long field trip to the Russian Palestine & New Jerusalem Monastery (60 km from Moscow by bus) is tentatively scheduled for November, 13th (Sunday). The fee for the trip is approximately 30 USD/person. For further information see: https://www.rbth.com/articles/ 2011/05/05/spend_a_day_in_jerusalem_12739.html

IGU Moscow Regional Conference, 17-21.08.15

Call for Session Proposals for the IGU Commission on Political Geography

IGU Regional Conference in Moscow, Russia 17-22 August 2015 http://www.igu2015.ru/

Conference theme: Geography, Culture and Society for Our Future Earth

The Regional Conference of the International Geographer's Union (IGU) will take place in Moscow next summer for the third time since the international Geographical Congress of 1976, when over 2,000 participants from around the world gathered in the Soviet capital for lectures, discussions, workshops and excursions. The pace of global change has since accelerated in directions that once seemed unimaginable. The 2015 Regional Conference will be an opportunity to reflect upon these changes as well as the future course of human civilisation in relation to pressing socio-environmental challenges.

IGU Moscow 2015 will focus on five main themes: Urban Environment, Polar Studies, Climate Change, Global Conflict and Regional Sustainability.

The organising committee for the International Geographical Union Regional Conference in Moscow is accepting proposals for sessions until 15 October 2014. Sessions can take the following forms: 1) plenary sessions, 2) commission and task force sessions, 3) thematic sessions.

Thematic sessions may be organized by conference participants to gather experts specialized in a particular research topic in order to discuss selected research issues. You may also organize workshops and special sessions for young scholars and university teachers, school geography teachers and students. When submitting a session proposal, please include the session type, name of the proposed chairperson, and a brief paragraph to outline the topic.

If you are interested in organizing a thematic (or other) session, you will need to complete a session proposal form (see attached or click on this link: http://www.igu2015.ru/index.php?r=36) and submit it to the organisers by 15 October 2014.

The IGU Commission on Political Geography would like to invite you to submit a proposal under the Commission, or jointly with another Commission. As the proposals for Commission sessions are to be ultimately vetted by the relevant Commission, please contact the Commission to coordinate efforts. Discuss your proposal with and/or submit your form to Virginie Mamadouh at v.d.mamadouh@uva.nl and/or Takashi Yamazaki at yamataka@lit.osaka-cu.ac.jp , as early as possible and no later than Friday 10 October.

For more information about the IGU 2015 Regional Conference, please refer to the conference website: http://www.igu2015.ru

IGU-CPG also sponsors a post-conference in Kaliningrad. Details will follow soon.
