About
The Population Geography Research Group (PGRG) provides a forum for population geographers to present and discuss the latest findings of research in the sub-discipline, to debate relevant theoretical, philosophical and methodological issues, and to consider policy dimensions.
The PGRG also takes a role in bringing postgraduate population geographers in workshops and presentation sessions on their work. Through its conference and publication activities, the PGRG aims to promote the standing of population geography both within the United Kingdom and also on the international stage.
The PGRG maintains a busy programme of activities throughout the year. At least one themed session is organised at the Annual Conference of the RGS-IBG. In addition, the PGRG is involved in a biennial series of conferences on population geography, The International Conference on Population Geographies. The PGRG also played a key role in the establishment of the journal Population, Space and Place (formerly International Journal of Population Geography. The Group maintains this website (www.popgeog.org), keeping members and the general public up-to-date on developments, conference reports, jobs, funding opportunities and notification of forthcoming meetings.
