MAD-AAG 2019 ANNUAL MEETING NOVEMBER 19, 2019 09:00AM — 06:00PM
HOSTED BY THE UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY, CATONSVILLE, MARYLAND
MAD-AAG 2019 invites paper and poster submissions that highlight the
range of people, places, data sources, and creative productions with
which MAD Community members engage. The MAD Community is a bustling,
lively association, and the annual MAD-AAG Conference invites abstract
submissions that highlight the diverse work by our members.
All papers and posters on ALL TOPICS are welcome!
We also invite undergraduate and graduate paper and poster submissions
for the 5th annual _MAGMA_ (MAD's Annual Geography Meritorious Award)
_COMPETITION_. In parallel to MAGMA, graduate students can submit
their research for the AAG COUNCIL AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING GRADUATE
STUDENT PAPER AT A REGIONAL MEETING
[http://www.aag.org/cs/AAG_Council_Award_for_Outstanding_Graduate_Student_Paper_at_a_Regional_Meeting], ($1000
award to be used to attend the AAG in April).
In addition to welcoming professional and university-college
colleagues, we encourage sessions organized by & oriented toward
geographers in secondary education. MAD also encourages contingent
instructors to use this event for networking, sharing, and gaining
additional supportive resources.
As the MAD Region is unique in its higher proportion of professional
geographers relative to the other AAG-Divisions, the MAD-Annual
Conference is a particularly vital, regional venue to network and
highlight key developments taking place in the discipline outside
academia.
