The Student Committee of the AAG’s Ethnic Geography Specialty Group would like to announce a call for papers for the 2017 AAG meeting. One of the committee’s main initiatives is to increase student participation in ethnic geography, including presenting student research at conferences.

We are looking to organize one or more sessions featuring the work of students (at the undergrad or graduate level) who focus broadly on the theme of ethnic geography. This includes any number of broad topics, hence submissions from all geographic fields and specializations are welcome.

Examples of suitable topics include:

– US internal ethnic migration

– Lived experiences of Latino/as in the US South

– Global Chinese migration patterns

– Place-making practices of skilled migrants in the EU

– Racial and ethnic segregation and/or discrimination

– Disparate impacts of predatory lending on minority homebuyers

– Landscape meaning of ethnic memorialization

– Refugee experiences in the US, Europe, or elsewhere

– International ethnic conflicts

Submissions on other related themes are also solicited. Professors and academic advisors are strongly encouraged to ask their students to participate.

If you are interested in participating, please send an abstract of 250 words to Scott Markley by October 24, 2016. We will respond to you with our decision the following day.

Thanks,

-EGSG Student Committee
