Call for Papers: Royal Geographical Society Annual Conference: 28th - 30th 
August 2013: Geographies of Forced Migration: 20 years since Geography and 
Refugees edited by Richard Black and Vaughan Robinson

Organized by Michael Collyer (University of Sussex) and Heaven Crawley 
(University of Swansea)

Geography and Refugees, published in 1993, was one of the first collective 
attempts to set out how and why Geography relates to refugee movements.  There 
had obviously been earlier related studies but the political upheavals of the 
immediate Cold War context, the resultant rise in public awareness of refugee 
issues in Western Europe and the specific focus on what the discipline of 
Geography had to offer by way of explanation distinguish this collection. This 
collection provides a useful reference point for a discussion of developments 
in geographical approaches to forced migration over the last 20 years.

We invite proposals for either of two sessions with different formats:  a panel 
session of papers addressing or illustrating the contribution of geography in 
understanding forced migration and a roundtable discussion focusing on how and 
why geographical approaches to forced migration/refugee movements have changed 
over the past 20 years and/or characterizing geographical approaches today. We 
are particularly interested in any approaches that address significant (false?) 
dichotomies that have come to structure geographical research into these (and 
other) areas or trends in developing approaches, such as:

Applied policy work v. critical studies; 'North' v. 'South' research focus; 
Disciplinary v. Interdisciplinary; 'Refugee women' to intersectionality; Forced 
to economic migration

Confirmed participants on the roundtable discussion so far include: Richard 
Black, Nick Gill, Khalid Koser, JoAnn Mcgregor, Ceri Oeppen.
Please send abstracts (for the paper session) or expressions of interest for 
the round table to Michael Collyer (M.Collyer@xxxxxxxxxxxx) by February 12th.
