PERMISSIONS STATEMENT
Conference Roving Reporters
The Gender and Feminist Geographies Research Group (GFGRG) of the Royal Geographical Society/Institute of British Geographers (RGS-IBG) are funding two graduate students as ‘roving reporters’ throughout the international Feminist Geography conference. The reporters will be providing reflections on, and summaries of, the content of paper sessions, panels, and workshops, and they'll be sharing these here on the conference website. They'll also assist with disseminating conference news and updates on social media.
The intention behind appointing reporters is:
-to showcase, highlight, and amplify the range and excellence of feminist geographies work that's shared via the conference
-to ensure that conference activities reach as wide an audience as possible while acknowledging space/time constraints
-to connect and build a network of students, scholars and activists
-to give graduate students an opportunity to report and reflect on their participation in the conference
Please take note: Reports and social media posts may identify presenters’ names, institutions as well as the content of presentations and/or discussion in sessions. This will be done within a feminist ethics of care and respect for all of those involved and in relation to material presented.
In the spirit of sharing and connecting we hope all conference participants give permission to be included in conference reports. Any participant who does not want their research and other contributions to be documented in this way, please contact Yolanda Weima weima@yorku.ca and Aila Bandagi aila@nevada.unr.edu, with a cc to Deirdre Conlon d.conlon@leeds.ac.uk, no later than Tuesday June 14th. Please include the subject heading 'REPORTING PERMISSION DECLINED'.
