Participatory Geographies Research Group (PyGyRG)

The Participatory Geographies Research Group (PyGyRG) is one of the research groups in the Royal Geographical Society (with the Institute of British Geographers). Recently there has been a surge of interest in the study and application of participatory research methods. Whilst a number of geographers have used participatory approaches and methods for many years, there are a number of reasons for the more recent increase in interest across all fields of human geography.

How to join PyGyRG

There is no charge at present to join PYGYRG. There are two ways of joining:

Members of the RGS-IBG can join PyGyRG by ticking the PyGyRG box on the membership form. The RGS-IBG will then forward membership information to PyGyRG.

By joining PyGyRG directly. To join, please email your details to one of the committee members.
An email list (PyGyWG@jiscmail.ac.uk), which you can join at jiscmail.ac.uk, is the chief means for participants to network, disseminate and discuss participatory geographies.
