Welcome to the HPGRG

Welcome to the History and Philosophy of Geography Research Group (HPGRG) of the Royal Geographical Society with the Institute of British Geographers (RGS-IBG).

Our aim is to initiate and foster the development of research on theĀ  history and philosophy of geography and associated fields, as well as on contemporary philosophies, theories and methods related to geography.

We promote research in these fields by activities such as: organising and sponsoring academic conferences; convening sessions at the Annual Conference of the RGS-IBG; supporting RGS-IBG Research Group guests; and awarding prizes.
