> "Emerging Themes in Critical GIS"
>
> In light of the recent development and emerging visions
> of critical GIS (CGIS), we think it is urgent to move beyond
> the debate between critical geographers and GISers in the
> 1990s, and to re-examine the relationships between GIS and
> various critical perspectives. We are organizing a series of
> panel and paper sessions on Critical GIS for the AAG's 2002 in
> Los Angeles. We hereby solicit a wide range of papers from
> members of this list and others you think might wish to participate.
>
> We particularly want to focus on new perspectives that integrate
> the theory and practice of GIS/remote sensing with various critical
> approaches in geographical research. These approaches might
> include, but are certainly not limited to critical development theory,
> feminism, post-structuralism, post-colonialism, the critical history of
> GIS, and actor-network theory. We seek papers that address
> mainstream GIS audiences and geographers.
>
> If you are interested in participating, please submit a brief abstract
> of your presentation by July 1 and we will notify you of the
> arrangements by early August. To submit for panel participation,
> please include a brief statement of your background and experience,
> the topic of your talk, and a short abstract indicating how you will
> approach your material. For paper session participation, please
> submit an abstract of AAG format for paper presentation.
>
> We are also seeking session leaders and discussants who can put this
> emerging work into context. If you are willing to do so, please let
> us know. Please reply to us personally.
