The Socialist and Critical Geography Specialty Group invites sessions and
panels for sponsorship at the 2008 AAG Meeting in Boston. 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 15, 2007.
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 30th, and we
will notify session organizers of funding availability and amounts by
October 6th.
