The American Association of Geographers (AAG) is meeting in Boston from
April 15-19. Believe it or not, geographers are a progressive bunch
that work for
social change in all sorts of ways - and geography is much more than
maps.
We work on the relationship between society and space - which can be
anything from geographies of hunger to environmental racism, from queer
space to housing issues, and from sustainable energy to international
solidarity. <br>
</small>
<ul>
<li><small>How do you think about space in your activism? </small></li>
<li><small>How might your activism intersect with the work of
geographers? </small></li>
<li><small>How might you be able to use geographic thought about
space and place?</small></li>
<li><small>Interested in finding out? </small></li>
</ul>
<small><b>We invite you</b> to join us at a public conference workshop
session
organized by the activist geographers grouping. Everyone in the room
will describe their activism and/or research (briefly!) and we will
collectively map our connections on the board, in terms of topics,
locations, and methods - and go from there. Any
sort of justice work, broadly defined, is welcome. We hope to connect
and mutually learn from justice work in the
center, the borderlands, and outside of the academy. The workshop is
open to all and does not
require conference registration. <br>
