You’ll have to get up early to see me present at the Association of American Geographers conference in Chicago next week. Both sessions are at 8am.
21 April 2015, “The Multiple Geographies of Ebola”, as part of a panel session on (Geo)politics of Ebola, Plaza B, Hyatt, East Tower, Green Level.
22 April 2015, “The Geophysics of Territory“, in paper sessions on ‘Terrain’, organised with Gastón Gordillo, Association of American Geographers, Chicago (see line-up for session 1 and 2), Hong Kong, Hyatt, West Tower, Gold Level.
The other key thing I’ll be involved in is Lauren Berlant’s Society and Space lecture – Friday, 24 April 2015, from 3:20 PM – 5:00 PM in Grand E/F, Hyatt, East Tower, Gold Level. This now has a new title – ‘Affects of the Commons‘.
Of course, much of the most important stuff at the AAG happens outside of sessions, and I’m looking forward to seeing the other editors of Society and Space, publishers, colleagues, ex-colleagues and other friends.
After the AAG I’m going straight to New York to visit CUSP at NYU again.

Would you have any text you could upload from this session or other recent works on terrain? I’m very interested in possibly incorporating some of your recent work on the subject into a project I am working on regarding territorial acquisition and governance in Syria. Many thanks for any help!
I am giving an expanded form of the talk tomorrow, so didn’t want to upload the audio recording before that. But I’ll share at least one version shortly. There is no written paper as yet – it’s initial work. But some of the ideas draw on my previous two books on territory and the ‘Secure the Volume’ paper from 2013. Thanks for the interest.
