#CallForPapers #RGSIBG2025
Location: RGS-IBG Annual Conference, Birmingham UK, 26-29 August 2025 Session Title: Changing neighbourhoods, residential segregation and spatial inequalities Session sponsor: Population Geography Research Group (PopGRG) Deadline for abstract submission: 4th March 2025 Session Organisers: Nissa Finney, Alice Butler-Warke, Rachel Wilkie, Qiong He, Jo Mhairi Hale, Elspeth Graham (University of St Andrews/Centre for Population Change Connecting Generations) and Lena Imeraj, Tuba Bircan, Feriha Nazda Saygi, Shabnam Khezri (Vrije Universiteit Brussel/SeLiS: Segregation through Life and Space) Instructions for prospective authors: We invite submissions of 15-minute in-person presentations. Please send a title, 200-word abstract, full author list (indicating the presenter(s) where appropriate), and your full contact details to Alice Butler-Warke (alrb1@st-andrews.ac.uk) and Rachel Wilkie (rzw1@st-andrews.ac.uk) and include “Changing neighbourhoods” in the subject line. Abstract: Contemporary studies of segregation are “moving away from pre-defined spatial and social categories” (Ubarevičienė et al 2024: 10), engaging with neglected dimensions of segregation (e.g. Westra 2024 on wellbeing), using innovative methods (e.g. Petrović, Manley & van Ham, 2020), taking longitudinal and lifecourse approaches (e.g. Malmberg et al 2024), examining multiple domains and intersections (e.g. Wong and Das Gupta 2023), and developing comparative approaches (e.g.Haandrikman et al 2024, He, et al 2021). Recent literature emphasises increasing racial and ethnic diversity and decreasing segregation (e.g. Parisi et al 2025, Catney et al 2023), whilst age and socio-economic segregation are seen to have increased (e.g. Sabater & Finney 2023, Musterd et al 2016). Thus, the field is rich with theoretical, substantive and methodological questions, all the while allied by the conviction that ‘neighbourhood matters’ (Clark 2024). Details of contributions sought: This session is a forum for discussion of the latest theories of residential segregation/spatial inequalities/neighbourhood change; methodological innovations including creative and mixed methods; empirical findings on patterns, drivers, dynamics and consequences of segregation; and policy and practice dimensions including those relating to housing and community development. Papers that consider intersectional, multiscalar and lifecourse/longitudinal approaches; that use the 2021/22 round of census data collection from the UK, (linked) census data and register data from Belgium and similar or alternative population data elsewhere; and, to link with the broader conference theme, those that explore creative approaches to examining segregation, are particularly welcome.
