Dear colleagues,

Below please find our call for the 2022 AAAD conference at JMU. This year the conference will once again be fully virtual. Last year the online format allowed us to host scholars from 19 countries and 6 continents. Over the past several years we have worked to host more and more geographers and would love for that trend to continue. We are now accepting proposals for panels and single papers. I am more than happy to answer any questions. Please be in touch!
