From the Director 1 September 2015
Dear Colleague, Welcome to the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG)’s annual international conference. The wide range of sessions and events over the next few days promise to be both stimulating and enjoyable. I would like to recognise Sarah Whatmore for the direction she has brought to the conference in her role as Chair. The theme she selected, Geographies of the Anthropocene, embraces all dimensions of our discipline. The plenary speakers, the linked panel discussions, the convened sessions and exhibits, all will serve to illuminate our understanding, key debates and challenges of this theme. I also want to thank all of you - delegates, presenters, chairs, convenors, discussants for your contributions, your vitality and your commitment to attend this event. You make this conference. While at the conference, please do take just a little time to find out about the Society’s work by talking to the RGS-IBG staff in Exeter. Much of our work is done collaboratively with you, for example: x supporting teachers with resources and professional development events drawing on the latest research x the Ambassadors programme that enthuses young people at school about the value of studying geography at university x opportunities for personal development for disadvantaged young people through fieldwork x connecting diverse community groups with the Society’s historic collections and encouraging reinterpretation and enrichment of them x engaging and enthusing the wider public with geography through Discovering Britain, a programme of street exhibits and geographical walks x advocacy and lobbying that we do to secure the recognition, position and funding of geography in schools, through fieldwork and in higher education, and increasingly its recognition by employers through the professional accreditation Chartered Geographer. I also encourage you to find out more about our new initiatives focused on policy, bringing to the fore geographical insights and the contributions of geographers. The Society exists for one purpose only - to advance geography. We work, with you, to give the subject a strong, influential and effective voice. We thank you for the time and expertise that many of you give us in this work. Arguably with the changes happening in university and school education, and in research funding, this advocacy is more important today than ever. Our work has grown substantially in recent years, such that now each year we have to raise about £5 million just to cover our activities. The most sustainable source of funds is the subscriptions from our members. Many of you are Fellows and I, on behalf of the Society, extend a sincere thank you for your support because it makes a real difference to what we can do. For those who are not Fellows or members, please join us and support our work for geography. And Fellowship gives you a voice and vote in the Society; this matters too. I hope you have a most enjoyable time in Exeter. I warmly thank the Geography Department at the University of Exeter for all their support.
Dr Rita Gardner CBE, Director 2. Welcome from the RGS-IBG Chair of Conference, Sarah Whatmore
Welcome to the RGS-IBG conference, and to Exeter! It is a real privilege to serve as the 2015 Conference Chair. One of the early pleasures was the opportunity to select a theme for the conference. In ‘Geographies of the Anthropocene’ I hoped to have selected a theme that plays to the unique strengths of our discipline in combining the insights, skills and perspectives of geographers working across the spectrum of human and physical geography, and to bring the diversity of interdisciplinary debates and communities with which they engage to the fore, not least through the range of invited plenary speakers addressing the theme from many different perspectives. I am delighted that this ambition has born fruit in the rich programme that has taken shape around this theme and the intellectual enthusiasms and energies across the geographical community that have embraced it in such imaginative ways. I am particularly pleased to welcome the participation of the British Society for Geomorphology and the deeper engagement of natural scientists that their involvement represents. The Anthropocene has been claimed to herald a new geological epoch in which human society is acknowledged as having become the greatest force shaping planet Earth. Although its recognition as a new age in geological history remains provisional, the idea of the Anthropocene has already captured the public imagination and that of scientists, social scientists and humanities scholars variously advancing new projects, agendas and critiques in its wake. For example, it has given rise to the ‘post-disciplinary’ ambitions of an Earth Systems Science that presents the integrative role of geography with new challenges; it marks a radical geo-political moment in which the Earth shapes new concerns and forms of public engaged in the contestation of planetary governance; and it heralds new demands on our habits of thought in which ‘post-human’ or ‘more-than-human’ modes of theorising and analysis are stretching familiar models of historical, cultural and economic analysis in new directions. The conference opens on Tuesday evening with an opening plenary which brings together two leading scholars, Will Steffen and Kathy Willis. They will consider the Anthropocene in terms of ‘Towards a bright future or global collapse? and ‘4 degrees and beyond – what does this mean for biodiversity and the ecosystem services it provides to humankind?’. A panel will discuss these papers in session 2 (late morning) on Wednesday. The lunchtime Chair's plenary lectures that then follow are ‘Feral geographies: life in capitalist ruins (Anna Tsing; Wednesday); ‘Anthropocene or Anglocene? Debating Cause and Consequence in the Great Climacteric (Amita Baviskar, Thursday); and ‘After Sexuality: Desert, Animist, Virus: Figures of Geontopower’ (Elizabeth Povinelli, Friday). For each plenary lecture a panel discussion will follow. The Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers lecture this year will be given by Noel Castree ‘Geographers and the discourse of an Earth transformed: influencing the intellectual weather or changing the intellectual climate?’ These, though, are just a selection of highlights – we are expecting more than 1200 participants who will contribute to nearly 300 individual panels and sessions. It will be here, in these smaller and more intimate sessions, where interesting themes will be explored and debated. I would like to thank all those involved in the organisation of the conference, particularly Sarah Evans and Stephanie Wyse, Eilidh Reed and Catherine Souch, but also all others at the RGS-IBG and at the University of Exeter who have been working so hard to arrange the event and ensure it runs smoothly. In addition, I am particularly grateful to all of you who have put in the work to convene and/or chair sessions, encourage presenters, develop displays, and more beyond. I wish all of you and all participants a stimulating and enjoyable conference.

Instructions to speakers for uploading presentations Please follow these instructions when uploading your presentation: 1. Insert your USB memory stick into the USB socket of the laptop/computer 2. Double click on the my computer icon on the desktop 3. Locate your USB stick, which should be labelled “Removable Disk” or similar and double click to open 4. Drag the PowerPoint file you require onto the desktop. Once you have uploaded your presentation, double click the remove hardware icon in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. Then select ‘Stop’ and press OK. You will then get a message “Safe to remove hardware”. Files will be removed from computers each night. There will be AV technicians from the University of Exeter around to help. If you have any problems please go to the Registration desk in the Forum Street or conference assistance desk in the Peter Chalk building. If you need to convert your presentation from Mac to PC format prior to your session, or need help outside the time of your session, please visit the Registration Desk. 17. Instructions to session Chairs To those of you chairing a session, thank-you. Below are a few suggestions to help you chair the session: x Before the session begins, please check the programme book and addendum for the speakers in your session. If there are any changes we will attempt to ensure that you are notified before the session. You can also check at the Registration Desk for updates. x Please ensure that you arrive at the room 20 minutes before the session is due to start – your presenters have been asked to do the same. x Check your room for a ‘Chair’s kit’. This contains any announcements, and cards you can hold up to warn speakers before they run out of time. x Before the session starts, please ensure all the speakers have arrived and that they are aware of the running order and have all the necessary AV equipment. x Please ensure that the session starts promptly and speakers keep to their allocation time (over-running presentations is the most common complaint we receive in conference feedback). We recommend that you: x Suggest speakers sit towards the front x Sit at the front of the room during all presentations where you can see both the audience and the speaker. x Please ask delegates to state their name and affiliation when asking a question.
Occasionally we may have left some announcements on the speakers’ table. Please ensure that these are read out to the delegates in your session. If you require assistance please call Reception [number]. In case of an emergency you may also go straight to the Registration desk or the information desk at your location. First Aiders are available at these locations. 17.1. Timings Speakers will only need a very brief introduction of name, institution and paper title. A session of 1 hour 40 minutes allows 5 speakers 20 minutes each, which must include questions. Please keep to the times and ensure that the session does not over run. In the ‘Chair’s kit’ in each room, we have provided signs for you to hold up: ‘5 minutes to go’, ‘2 minutes to go’ and ‘Please stop now’. Please use these, as they can be an effective way of managing the session. If a speaker fails to turn up, we suggest you use the extra time for discussion, rather than allowing the other speakers extra time to present. 18. Building directions and information A map showing the location of the buildings used in the conference is on the back cover of this book. Please ask at the Registration Desk if you need more assistance.

Space for Reviews
One year from its launch at AC2014, we want to highlight an opportunity to publish reviews in Geo: Geography and Environment. Geo welcomes high quality review papers which provide theoretical, methodological and topical analysis for advanced researchers in the field, or offer critical perspectives that engage cross-disciplinary collaborations, explore policy implications and address issues of global concern (see guidelines for authors). We are especially interested in reviews exploring what it means to assemble communities of knowledge differently and making use of the opportunities for online, open access publication.
We produce reviews in our PhDs, our grant proposals and our publications. To review is to assess and appraise. Reviews have a temporal element: looking back to assess and forward to propose change. A review is also a spatial practice: the review synthesises by defining and appraising a field. Yet, margins can be reinscribed and peripheries created in this process of producing knowledge. Situated epistemological differences may get recast as conceptual or methodological ‘problems’ to be solved by further integration with the theoretical core. There can be good reasons for an emphasis on consensus or periods of normal science. However, postcolonial, feminist and geopolitical critiques attune us to the active processes through which knowledge practices are made marginal and the implications of overly dominant scientific cultures. New practices of review have the potential to make these geographies of knowledge production more visible and so create the conditions for a different circulation and assemblage of ideas.
Innovations across the social and natural sciences, arts and humanities are advancing alternative resources for constructing and disseminating reviews. From the sciences: systematic reviews demonstrate how criteria for inclusion and exclusion can be made more explicit and accountable; large-scale data sets offer opportunities for developing and tracking the back-and-forth of new modes of co-operation; network analysis software can map evolving patterns of inter-citations and the relational transformation of their content. These have not featured widely in geographical reviews, but used reflexively, they have potential across the social and natural sciences. From the digital arts and humanities there are promising experiments in developing online platforms to support collaborative working and review; innovative visualisations of data, concepts and relations; and alternative forms and frames for data mining that value difference in previously unseen data.
Geo: Geography and Environment has space for review and we want to encourage reflection on these spaces of review. We welcome your conversations and all submissions, especially those mapping the ways in which communities of knowledge emerge and creating innovative, interdisciplinary and inclusionary spaces through review.
