>> Following the successful inaugural International Critical Geography (ICG)

> which will take place at the University of Taegu, South Korea, from 9 to

>> *** THEME: For Alternative 21st Century Geographies. This theme in
>> many ways defines the mission of the International Critical Geography
>> Group which attempts to build a 'critical' geographically informed
>> practice as a political tool for remaking local and global geographies
>> into a more egalitarian world. As geographical concepts become
>> increasingly central to an understanding of world politics, from global
>> warming to resurgent nationalisms, globalization to assertions of local
>> autonomy, there has never been a more important time to fashion a
>> geographically smart politics.
>>
>> *** PROPOSED TOPICS. The following topics are suggestive but might
>help frame the work of the conference:
>>
>> Technology and the corporatizing of university geography
>> Geografia contra neo-liberalismo
>> Why is geography so conservative?
>> Updates on specific struggles
>> Economic crises: Asia, Latin America, Africa
>> Space and theory
>> Nature and Society
>> Beyond the Mantra: the POLITICS of class, race, gender,
>> sexuality
>> Justice and Environment
>> Africa in and out of the global economy
>> Post Cold War Political Geography: Korea
>> Multiculturalism
>> Scale as Political Strategy
>> Space/Territory
>> Silent war: the New Global Geography of Poverty and
>> Inequality
>> Cultural Politics, Global Capital
>>
>
