CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

7th CYCLING AND SOCIETY SYMPOSIUM
MONDAY 6th SEPTEMBER 2010
University of Oxford - UK

DEADLINE 18th June 2010

Abstracts are invited for the 7th Cycling and Society Research Group
symposium to be held at the University of Oxford on Monday 6th September
2010.

The Symposium is open to academics, policy makers and advocates who wish to
share their research, knowledge and experience of any topic related to
cycling. The event will take place in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere in
one of the UK’s foremost cycling cities. Newer participants to the field are
most welcome and we particularly invite submissions from those who are able
to offer critical perspectives on the subject matter from a variety of
disciplines.

Papers presented at previous symposia have covered a broad range of themes
including: culture; effects of interventions; embodiment; factors inhibiting
cycling; fear; gender; history; identity; image; interaction between road
users; legal issues; methodological approaches; policy; planning and design;
promotion; route choice modelling; social capital; social transformation;
statistics; and technology.

Please send an abstract of up to 300 words by the deadline of Friday 18th
June 2010 to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>
Abstracts will be reviewed by a panel of members of the Cycling and Society
Research Group and notification of acceptance will be sent via e-mail to the
corresponding author by Friday 16th July 2010.

Those wishing to participate in the symposium without presenting a paper are
very welcome to attend. There will also be an informal session for academic
researchers on Tuesday 7th September during the morning. Information on
registering for the event will be available in July. If you require any
further information in the meantime please contact Sally Pepperall at the
Transport Studies Unit by e-mail  [email protected]<mailto:

Background to the C&S Symposium Series
The Cycling and Society symposium series was launched in 2004 at Lancaster
University, with subsequent meetings at the Universities of Cardiff (2005),
Chester (2006), at the offices of the Cyclists’ Touring Club (CTC) Guildford
(2007), University of West of England (2008) and University of Bolton
(2009). The symposia are linked to the Cycling and Society Research Group (
http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/cycling-and-society.html) whose members span
many disciplines and approaches to the study of cycling.  An edited
collection of papers presented at earlier symposia was published in the book
‘Cycling and Society’ (eds. Horton, Rosen & Cox, 2007) by Ashgate as part of
its Transport and Society Series.
