Call for papers:
New approaches in quantitative social geography: new data, new methods, new insights
AAG 2012 Annual Meeting, New York
(Session conveners: Richard Harris, University of Bristol & Alex Singleton, University of Liverpool).
Abstract submissions and expressions of interest are invited for this paper session to be held at next year's AAG annual conference. Younger researchers and Ph.D. students are especially invited to join us older and aging folk.
Description: New data, new technologies and new ideas have led to a resurgence in the theories and methods of quantitative social geography. This session will focus on the use of hierarchical, micro-, open and unorthodox sources of data to address questions of relevance to social geography and policy. Contributions are invited in but are not limited to areas of spatial analysis, open geodemographics, understanding population dynamics, neighborhood analysis, understanding change over time, and the affects of (urban or rural) policy on people and places. Examples of methodological innovation and of applied data analysis are welcome.
Informal expressions of interest or enquiries to Richard, please ([log in to unmask]) or you can register and submit you abstract at http://www.aag.org/cs/registrationverification. The session number is 13797.
Please do forward to any potentially interested colleagues. We look forward to seeing you in New York.
