Dear Colleagues,
We are very pleased to announce that the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) is hosting the 12th Annual Critical Geographies Mini-Conference (formerly known as the Cascadia Critical Geographies Mini-Conference) on September 23, 2017.
DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACT SUBMISSION AND REGISTRATION HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO September 10th 2017!
Registration and abstract submission at: http://www.critgeogminicon.org/
The conference will be held on unceded Lheidli T'enneh (Dakelh) territory and will work towards inclusion of non-academic knowledges. We hope the unique geographies of Northern British Columbia will provide potential topics for scholarly work and excellent opportunities for non-academic knowledges and the arts to be engaged.
This FREE mini-conference will take place on Saturday, September 23, 2017, with an afternoon & evening of pre-events on September 22nd. Please mark your calendars and encourage your senior undergraduate & graduate students to attend. We look forward to everyone's attendance and conference presentation by many of you & your students.
Consistent with the long-standing goals of this conference, the emphasis is on creating a fun, engaging, and friendly atmosphere that embraces an unsettling of the "traditional" conference structure. We look forward to a wide range of spatially-oriented critical scholarship and encourage creative work on various themes from geography and other disciplines. There is no fee to attend the conference and undergraduate & graduate students are particularly encouraged to attend.
Finally, please share this announcement widely on social media and forward this email to interested colleagues, students, and friends.
Feel free to contact Sarah ([log in to unmask])<mailto:[log in to unmask])> directly if you have any specific questions.
Many thanks,
Ethan McLean, on behalf of Sarah de Leeuw, Catherine Nolin, Gail Fondahl, and Paul Kingsbury
