2024 24-30th August. 35th International Geographical Congress The Centennial Congress Dublin City University

Welcome … Bienvenue … Céad Míle Fáilte.

From their website: It is my absolute pleasure to invite you to the 35^th International Geographical Congress (IGC) which will be held in Ireland in August 2024 …The IGC 2024 will continue the tradition of previous congresses in recognising that our world faces many common natural and societal challenges that can only be dealt with through global action, understanding and sharing. Geography as a discipline, its skills, attributes and the geographic mindset has much to offer other disciplines, policymakers, officials, politicians, and our wider communities. The theme of our congress is ‘Celebrating a World of Difference’ and we are strongly focused through our academic and fieldwork programme on supporting intercultural awareness and understanding; promoting intellectual diversity as a strength; bringing geographic research and thinking beyond the congress walls; and grappling with the complex interconnections between people, place and the natural world. In an increasingly contested, fragmented and troubled world, celebrating difference as a strength and acknowledging our common humanity is essential. Niamh Moore-Cherry (Chair, IGC2024)

The 2024 IGU Thematic Conference “Connecting Geographies from the Global South” will be held at the Latin American Faculty of Social Sciences (FLACSO), in Quito, Ecuador, May 15th to May 17th, 2024.

The conference aims to facilitate intellectual exchange and promote academic debates among scholars of emerging epistemic communities in the field of geography, particularly those from the Global South as well as other interested in addressing geographic issues in this part of the world. The main emphasis of the Thematic Conference is connecting geographers worldwide in an inclusive dialogue.

Proposal Submissions: We invite you to submit your abstracts and propose self-organized sessions that promote dialogue among geographic studies critically engaged with spatial and place-based thinking processes in the Global South. We are particularly interested in contributions that connect theory, methods, and research practices, considering multidisciplinary, pluralistic, and multi-paradigmatic approaches.
