Call for Special Sessions/Workshops AND Oral & Poster Presentations (EXTENDED)

WDCAG is now accepting abstract submissions for special sessions and workshops. The call is also now open for abstract submissions for oral presentations and poster presentations.

The theme for this year’s conference is “bridging.” This past September the historic red bridge that crosses the South Thompson River connecting Tk̓emlúps te Secwépemc and the City of Kamloops burned down, impacting businesses, commuters and people wanting to walk, bike, or drive the short distance from downtown Kamloops to the Mt. Paul business park on the other side of the river.

Whereas many geographers are likely interested in this transportation geography dilemma, the conference committee thought the theme “bridging” could be applied more broadly to all conference presentations.

How does your geographic research and teaching bridge people and ideas?

Where do we need more bridging in real-life geographic problems?

How do we envision bridging communities?

How are geographers bridging the physical and human divides and why is this important?

We invite participants to reflect on how your work is relevant to the conference theme in their abstract submissions.

Call for special sessions/workshops:

Please send your proposal title and a 50 word description to wdcag2025@tru.ca and rwestland@tru.ca. 

Please include in the subject line “WDCAG 2025 - special sessions/workshops” and your full name, position, e.g., instructor or master’s student, and email address in the body of your message.
