CALL FOR PAPERS - STUDENT PAPER COMPETITION Association of American Geographers (AAG) Applied Geography Specialty Group The 2012 Meeting of the AAG, February 24-28, 2012, New York, NY
The Applied Geography Specialty Group is sponsoring a student paper competition this year. The paper and its research should utilize geographic methods, techniques, or analysis applied in service to a real world client, while the subject-matter focus of the paper is open. One prize ($500) will be awarded to the best paper. The student papers cannot be co-authored with a faculty member but can range from a class project or term paper to one that has been given at any professional meeting in the 12 months preceding (and including) the New York, NY AAG conference. Participants are required to register and present in the AGSG Interactive Short Paper (ISP) Student Session at the February 24-28, 2012 AAG Annual Meeting. The Applied Geography Conference Board will award the student paper winner with a free conference registration to attend the 35th Annual Applied Geography Conference in October, 2012 in Minneapolis, MN, and an invitation to submit the winning paper for review and possible publishing in the Annals from that conference. The deadline for the submission of abstracts for the Applied Geography Specialty Group student paper competition is the same date as the AAG deadline for abstracts. To submit an abstract to the AGSG you must first register for the meeting. Please review AAG guidelines for abstract submission. Send an abstract of no more than 250 words as an email attachment and your personal identification number (received from the AAG after applying online at www.aag.org), along with a 100 word maximum statement identifying the applied geography components of their paper to Dr. Dawna Cerney at dlcer...@ysu.edu Written papers (8,000 word maximum) are due on January 1, 2012. The prize will be awarded based on the written papers and not on the presentations, and the winner will be announced at the conclusion of the interactive session. If any participants would like informal feedback on their presentation, please advise Dr. Cerney in advance. Both Master’s and Ph.D. students are welcome in the competition. One prize will be awarded in the amount of $500. All authors will be recognized for their participation.
