New PGRG website launched
The committee of the PGRG are delighted to officially launch the new website of the research group – following the hard work of Pablo Mateos (Communications Officer of PGRG ) and colleague at University College London.
The new PGRG website that can be found at the following URL:
www.popgeog.org
The new website features the main activities of PGRG (conferences and workshops organised by PGRG), as well as a broad range of information relevant to researchers and practioners in population geography, such as up-to-date developments, conference reports, jobs, funding opportunities, journal content alerts, and notification of forthcoming meetings.
The website has been organised following a ‘blog post’ method which is much more dynamic, and easy to update and read than a traditional static website. The most recent posts appear at the top in the main page. Furthermore, all of the content is tagged using keywords that can be accessed by clicking on a “tag cloud” ranked by tag frequencies, as well as through more hierarchical menus that appear on the left and top margins.
Finally, a search menu facilitates searching for any specific term. Users can also subscribe to an RSS feed to be automatically notified when a new post is published, or feed this information into another website.
We hope that the new PGRG website becomes the main repository for key information relevant to population geographers in the UK and beyond.
Please disseminate this message as widely as you can, amonst academics, students, and practicioners interested in population geography studies.
If you have any material that might be relevant to post on the website (e.g. reports from conferences), please send the information to Pablo Mateos (p.mateos@ucl.ac.uk), Communications Officer, PGRG.
Please browse around through the links in the left, right and top margins of the website to learn more about recent and forthcoming activities in the field of Population Geography.
