ANNOUNCEMENT

The 2024 IGU Thematic Conference “Connecting Geographies from the Global South” will be held in the Latin American Institute of Social Sciences (FLACSO), in Quito, Ecuador, between May 18th and May 19th. This is a call for abstracts of scholarly work that promotes dialogue among geographical studies critically engaged with spatial and place-based thinking processes in the Global South. We are particularly interested in contributions that connect theory, methods, and research practices considering multidisciplinary, pluralistic and multiparadigmatic approaches.

The conference aims to facilitate intellectual exchange and promote academic debate among scholars of emerging geographical epistemic communities in Latin America, Africa, and Asia, and elsewhere interested in addressing geographical issues in these regions. The main emphasis of the Thematic Conference is on promoting knowledge production and geographic thought that emerge from the Global South.
