Hi everyone,
Please note that the travel fund deadline is next Wednesday.

The Socialist and Critical Geography Specialty Group invites sessions and
panels for sponsorship at the 2007 AAG Meeting in San Francisco. Our
specialty group seeks "to promote critical analysis of geographic
phenomena, cognizant of geographic research on the well-being of social
classes; to investigate the issue of radical change toward a more
collective and egalitarian society; and to discover the impact of economic
growth upon environmental quality and upon social equity." We particularly
welcome praxis-oriented sessions that seek to put analysis into action,
including panels that feature activists working outside of the academy.
If you would like to submit your session, please e-mail us a title, an
abstract/CFP, and if you feel it necessary, an additional statement
clarifying the relevance of your session to the SCGSG. The deadline for
sponsorship is October 5, 2006.
This year, the SCGSG has also set aside a small travel fund for
participants from outside the academy and/or those facing financial
hardship. If your session is sponsored, you may submit the name of one
participant to the SCGSG. The fund will be equally divided between the
nominated participants. The deadline for nominations is is September 6th,
and we will notify session organizers of funding availability and amounts
by September 11th.
