SUMMARY:Sustainable Food and Agriculture Workshop
DESCRIPTION:As part of the REACH (Research Engagement and Collaboration Hub) programme\, the Department of Entrepreneurship and Local Economy at the University of Birmingham will be holding a workshop exploring the competing demands and perceptions of sustainability for the food industry. The workshop is part of a wider project to engage cross community debates on sustainability to include economic (sustainable livelihoods)\, social (minimises negative impact on wellbeing and environmental (minimises negative impact to the natural environment). \nWe have a range of speakers including Hilary Hammer from East Riding Local Food Network and a founder of the Sustainable Food City project in Hull\, she is currently working on a project on innovation in the agrifood sector.  Dr Adélia de Paula is the Sustainable Intensification Research Network (SIRN) Coordinator\, a project funded by the UK Research Councils BBSRC and NERC and she will be talking about the concept of sustainable intensification.  Sam Durham from the NFU will be speaking about the NFU and sustainability issues.  Rachel Graham from Solagrow a consultancy services provider who designs solutions to create sustainable farming practices for small family farms will present a case study.  Prof. Kiran Trehan will be talking about ways forward for research and how engaged research is critical in delivering impact for scholars and practice.  We will also be asking participants for their thoughts and views on demands and perceptions of sustainability.  This will be an interactive event where we hope to generate questions to inform future research. \nThis is a free event and will take place on Tuesday 4th July\, registration from 10am for a 10.30am start and ends at 2.30pm.  Lunch will be provided and is an opportunity for networking.  This event is relevant for anyone interested in small (family) firms\, sustainability\, and food production.  For further information or to reserve your place please email Jane at J.Glover@bham.ac.uk.  Please confirm your attendance by Wednesday 28th June and please state any special dietary requirements.

SUMMARY:Royal Geographical Society Annual International Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Annual International Conference 2017 is chaired by Sarah Radcliffe (University of Cambridge\, UK).\nDecolonising geographical knowledges: opening geography out to the world\nThe chair’s theme for the 2017 Annual Conference is Decolonizing geographical knowledges: opening geography out to the world. We welcome sessions and papers which engage directly with this theme\, as well as others focusing on all areas of geography.  \nDecolonizing geographical knowledges aims to query implicitly universal claims to knowledges associated with the west\, and further interrogate how such knowledges continue to marginalize and discount places\, people and knowledges across the world. Debates around decolonizing geographical knowledges have become increasingly important during the past decade among teachers\, activists and academics\, and draw upon postcolonial\, indigenous studies and other critical perspectives. The challenge is to re-think scholarly epistemic and institutional forms of knowledge production that  privilege predominantly western over ‘southern’ knowledges and ways of seeing. Such debates in turn influence how geographers and geographical knowledge engage with schools\, students\, policy-makers and third sector organisations. The 2017 Annual Conference offers an opportunity to take these debates forward in the context of research on socio-natures\, the Anthropocene\, and multi-scalar inequalities but also\, more widely\, by demonstrating the power of decolonial geographical thinking to work relationally across disciplinary boundaries and to expand the scope of decolonial practice in research. The conference aims to encourage debate about these issues including potential contributions from decolonizing geographical knowledges to existing approaches and methodologies in human and physical geography.
