SCGRG ✕ EGRG cohost event
Thinking beyond the standard research article: publishing commentary articles as an early career researcher
12.00 – 12.40 (BST) 6 May, online
SCGRG EARLY CAREER EVENT SERIES REGISTRATION
This event aims to provide practical guidance on how ECRs can publish their research through commentary articles. Geography journals increasingly provide space for short-form commentaries which intend to highlight emerging phenomena, reflect on disciplinary trends and outline areas for future research. This session invites Dr Liam Keenan to provide advice on how to approach commentaries, what to consider when developing them and how to align them with wider publication strategies. Beyond providing practical tips and takeaways, the session aims to empower ECRs with the confidence to make their voices heard through commentaries.
Dr Liam Keenan is an Assistant Professor in Economic Geography at the University of Nottingham. His research explores the financialization of pubs, the geographies of financial centres and the role of mergers and acquisitions (M&As) in concentrating corporate power throughout contemporary capitalism. Liam is also Chair of the RGS-IBG Economic Geography Research Group.
Kind regards
