Workshop on the formation of a National Postgraduate Network for Geography Students

Postgraduate students are an important part of the New Zealand Geographical Society (NZGS).  This workshop is hopefully the first in a number of initiatives aimed at making the geography postgraduate community more visible at a national scale in New Zealand.  The main topic for discussion is the identification of the need and/or form of a national postgraduate network for geography students.  The workshop is designed to brainstorm a range of ideas including the development of a postgraduate section on the NZGS website, seminars and discussion forums run through the Access Grid, an annual postgraduate social event etc.  I would be great to have a range of postgraduate students and academics attend this workshop and other ideas or points of discussion are welcome.  Please email Pippa Mitchell p.mitchell@auckland.ac.nz to register for the workshop or make comments.

Conveners: Pippa Mitchell (PhD, Auckland), Emily McKibbin (Honours, Auckland),
