*Geography and the Humanities Symposium*


Call for Participation: Geography and the Humanities Symposium

The Association of American Geographers, in conjunction with the
University of Virginia’s College of Arts & Sciences and the American
Council of Learned Societies, is organizing a symposium on geography and
the humanities. The symposium will be held at the University of Virginia
in Charlottesville in June 2007, and will also include a special event
at nearby Monticello, Thomas Jefferson’s historic estate. Thirty to
fifty participants are sought, approximately one-third drawn from each
of the following categories: 1) geographers who have engaged the
humanities directly in their work; 2) scholars in the humanities who
have integrated geography or GIS into their work; and 3) popular writers
or artists who provide a geographically-informed view in works of
fiction, art, or film.

Those interested in participating in the symposium as presenters should
submit a one-page summary of their proposed topic, describing relevant
research conducted and previous directly-related publications, along
with a brief resume or CV to: Geography and the Humanities Symposium
Applications Committee, c/o Douglas Richardson at drichardson at aag.org.
Applications for participation should be received no later than
*December 12, 2006*. Earlier submission is encouraged. In order to
defray the costs of participation, applicants in financial need who are
accepted for participation in the symposium may apply for funding to
support travel costs.
