AAG, SAN FRANCISCO, 2007: CALL FOR PAPERS
Ellen Churchill Semple Reconsidered
2007 marks the seventy-fifth anniversary of the death of Ellen Churchill
Semple. For almost three decades at the beginning of the twentieth century
she exerted an important influence on the disciplinary development of
Anglo-American geography. Although not "written out" of geography's history
in the same way as many of her female contemporaries, her contribution is
often presented simply as a brief and misguided flirtation with
environmental determinism. Semple was responsible, in part, for training a
generation of American geographers, for providing the discipline with a
novel methodological focus, and for encouraging and promoting the work of
women scholars.
Papers are invited which consider or reappraise any aspect of Semple's
personal life, her work in geography, or her intellectual legacy.
Contributions attending to human-environment relations, epistemic
connections between geography and history, the historical role of women
within the discipline, or Semple's travel, exploration, and geographical
work in the field, would all be suitable. Please contact Innes M. Keighren,
University of Edinburgh ([log in to unmask]), by 25 September 2006
