🚨 Our Annual Symposium is tomorrow! Join us online from 9:45am for a day exploring the digital geographies of fragility, ending with Professor Margath Walker's keynote, The Fragility of AI. Programme & last-minute registration: digitalgeographiesrg.org/9-july-2026-... #DGRGAnnualSymposium2026

The image shows a bio of Professor Margath Walker. The background is pink with a white border. The title reads DIGITAL GEOGRAPHIES RESEARCH GROUP ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM 2026. On the left is a picture of the Professor with curly hair, black glasses and a beige jumper, smiling at the camera. On the right is a QR code to visit the DGRG website. Her bio reads: Margath Walker is Professor of Geography in the Department of Geographic and Environmental Sciences and School of Urban and Public Affairs at the University of Louisville. Her research focuses on technology, critical social theory and political geography. Her book, Spatializing Marcuse: Critical Theory for Contemporary Times (Bristol University Press) is the first to develop a geographic perspective in relation to the social philosopher, Herbert Marcuse. She has published widely on the geographies of artificial intelligence, borders and belonging and how social theory can explain current political dynamics. She is currently co-editor of the RGS-IBG Book Series. This is followed by a short call to action: "Register and join us online on 9th July 2026 from 9.45am UK time"
