Dear geography+ community -- apologies for cross-posting and please do circulate widely, especially within your depts and other lists! ICYMI: quite recently, the *ACME *Collective published an editorial, "An Unpause-ish Statement," <https://acme-journal.org/index.php/acme/article/view/2332>that describes the (actually interesting, we would say!) changes we've made to our mission statement around not returning to business as usual, and includes clarifications about our labor politics, and reaffirms and elaborates our commitments, among other interventions for the field. We also announce new kinds of publication formats, reviewer guidelines, and author guidelines. The two-year relaunch of *ACME* also inspired in us a Call for Papers in the forms of the "Critical Geography Conversations: ACME’s 20+ Year Anniversary CFP." <https://acme-journal.org/index.php/acme/announcement/view/95> We believe that as much of the first major wave of radical and critical geographers retires and as new types of theory and thinking grow into and shift the field, we are losing histories to our field and we are in need of more education about what is going on across the field. We're therefore seeking intergenerational or otherwise interviews between geographers <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1-vQdckvKWit3EUuf9gvZU6KUG3sHp7C4ALuCTCUewb4/viewform?edit_requested=true>, as well as other kinds of roundtables, conversations, or letters <https://acme-journal.org/index.php/acme/subformats> to be able to create more accessible and exciting formats. Please see the full CFP for details. Finally, we will soon be launching a search for our next Managing Editor. If you would like to hear more about this position, please reach out to me or any of our Editorial Collective <https://acme-journal.org/index.php/acme/about/editorialTeam>. We wish you all the best and send you much light, Jack Gieseking, Managing Editor of *ACME* -- Jen Jack Gieseking jgieseking.org Research Fellow, FCWSRC *A Queer New York: Geographies of Lesbians, Dykes, and Queers* <https://nyupress.org/9781479835737/a-queer-new-york/> @jgieseking <https://twitter.com/jgieseking> Pronouns: he/they On Thu, Apr 6, 2023 at 9:20 AM Ebru Ustundag <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > CAUTION: External Sender > > ACME's latest issue Vol. 22 No. 1 (2023): ACME Editorial, Research Papers, > and Forum is now published and available online > <https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Facme-journal.org%2Findex.php%2Facme%2Fissue%2Fview%2F135&data=05%7C01%7Cgeogfem%40lsv.uky.edu%7Ccd0ab4db8e4b455eb82c08db36a1a15b%7C2b30530b69b64457b818481cb53d42ae%7C0%7C0%7C638163840054012725%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=8hHg8NQgNtbnAiALfoWR98nrIl1dwlPjf%2F7Ss0A5vVc%3D&reserved=0>! > A full TOC is below. > > > > *Vol. 22 No. 1 (2023): ACME Editorial, Research Papers, and Forum* > <https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Facme-journal.org%2Findex.php%2Facme%2Fissue%2Fview%2F135&data=05%7C01%7Cgeogfem%40lsv.uky.edu%7Ccd0ab4db8e4b455eb82c08db36a1a15b%7C2b30530b69b64457b818481cb53d42ae%7C0%7C0%7C638163840054012725%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=8hHg8NQgNtbnAiALfoWR98nrIl1dwlPjf%2F7Ss0A5vVc%3D&reserved=0> > > > > *An Unpause-ish Statement: An ACME Editorial > <https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Facme-journal.org%2Findex.php%2Facme%2Farticle%2Fview%2F2332&data=05%7C01%7Cgeogfem%40lsv.uky.edu%7Ccd0ab4db8e4b455eb82c08db36a1a15b%7C2b30530b69b64457b818481cb53d42ae%7C0%7C0%7C638163840054012725%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=JnJ3El1V1azxLRo8qWphAxHDrWc1IBJNOZeNKFUtFaA%3D&reserved=0>* > > ACME Editorial Collective > > *Abstract* > What is critical geography, and what can, and must, it be?
