Worth reflecting on whether this could be a moment to think differently about publishing, hiring and how research dissemination functions in the academy.

New in Area: 'Conference-based method: Interviewing elites at intergovernmental conferences' by @saddy94.bsky.social & Katie Peters This paper reflects on the logistical elements of undertaking geographical research at intergovernmental conferences. doi.org/10.1111/area... #geosky

Screenshot of a paper abstract in Area by Liam Saddington & Katie Peters (2025) entitled: 'Conference-Based Method: Interviewing Elites at Intergovernmental Conferences' with a black banner at the top.

Conferences have increasingly featured within geographical research as sites of knowledge production, performance and contestation. However, this article explores how intergovernmental conferences can be productive sites for geographical research fieldwork with elites on topics such as climate geopolitics and disaster risk reduction (DRR), particularly through interviews. Reflecting on research conducted at over two decades of intergovernmental conferences in all regions of the globe, this article argues that conferences allow access to participants who may otherwise be difficult to secure interviews with. Although intergovernmental conferences may not be perfect spaces for research, they should be considered more often by geographers as valuable opportunities for conducting interviews. This research need not be limited to the focus of the conference itself, but can also provide opportunities to engage with actors working on a wide range of governance issues. This article reflects on the logistical elements of undertaking such research, the ethical considerations and the temporal opportunities and challenges afforded by a conference-based method. It concludes by reflecting on how a conference-based method can be integrated into other geographical approaches to qualitative research.
