Study Groups
Study groups of the Institute of Australian Geographers achieve the following objectives:
- promote the scholarly development and impact of a diverse range of geographical sub-disciplines and fields in Australia;
- foster collegial, productive, diverse and self-governing communities of practice within the IAG;
- host events and activities that realise high-quality and innovative research, education and engagement outcomes, foster career development and build collaborations with cognate disciplines and professions;
- advance the reputation of Australian geography nationally and internationally;
- attract and retaining financial IAG members by adding value to IAG membership; and
- contribute to the intellectual and logistical success of the IAG’s annual conference.
IAG Members are eligible to join up to three of the current Study Groups or create new ones!
