Accessing Geography
-------------------------
In recent years there has been increased attention paid to the ways in
which geography as a discipline has been instrumental in the creation and
reproduction of geographies of exclusion and has itself been an exclusive
discipline. In these sessions we hope to extend this latter analysis to
further consider how different groups have been, and continue to be,
excluded from becoming geographers or how geographers careers are unevenly
and unequally shaped through institutional systems and disciplinary
networks.
We are interested in receiving papers on the following themes:
o institutional structures, societal relations, and the role of disability,
gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, religion or class in the (re)production
of exclusive geographies
o (re)creation and power of disciplinary networks
o histories of accessing sites of learning/knowledge/research/teaching
o critiques of metropolitan geographies and neo-imperial disciplinary practices
o Changing institutional systems (corporatisation and market competiveness
of universities; entreprenuership and competiveness between faculty) and
their impacts of becoming/being a geographer
o critical pedagogy and challenges to exclusionary curricula
o ways to open-up and create a more inclusive discipline
Please submit your abstract and full contact details to Lawrence Berg
