CFP - Digital Shorts - Gaming and VR

 The third annual RGS-IBG Digital Geographies Research Group Symposium 
will be taking place at the University of Birmingham on 3 July 2019 
examining ‘The geographies of gaming and VR’.


The one-day symposium will host a series of papers covering geographical 
perspectives on gaming and VR (whether space, materiality, digitality, 
virtuality, or technological, social and cultural approaches). There 
will also be fun digital shorts where presenters will give a short 
taster their research in challenging 2-minute time-slots.

 Digital Shorts: In order to represent the breadth of research 
examining gaming and VR within geography (and beyond!) as well as to 
facilitate networking, participants are invited to give a 2-minute 
‘digital short’.  This format has proved popular at our previous 
symposia, and can be a fun and challenging way to give a taster or your 
research to a wide audience.

 We have received a number of submissions for full papers, but would 
now like to call for further submissions to the digital shorts 
programme. We welcome interdisciplinary, creative, and experimental 
submissions to bring new and interesting work to the programme. Digital 
shorts are especially suitable for PGR students, creative practitioners, 
and those with limited time to put together a longer paper, but who want 
to contributing to this growing field.

 Time for networking and socialising will be built into the programme 
for the Symposium. We will also be offering online-only attendance for 
those unable to travel in person.

 Abstracts are due 1 May 2019.
