Following a successful 2020 virtual conference in place of the
long-planned XIth Race, Ethnicity, and Place Conference (REP) in
Baltimore, organizers are planning a hybrid in-person and virtual
conference for October 20-23, 2021, together with the The Mid-Atlantic
Division of the AAG (MAD-AAG).
For almost twenty years, the Race, Ethnicity, and Place (REP)
Conference has brought together diverse groups of scholars to facilitate
research on race and ethnicity and has provided a critical gathering
place of support and collaboration for underrepresented scholars. The
REP Conference provides important opportunities for faculty,
professionals, and graduate students to engage in discussions of timely
and critical issues regarding race and ethnicity in multiple places and
spatial contexts worldwide.
The Mid-Atlantic Division of the AAG (MAD-AAG), as the AAG’s oldest
regional division, has been working for more than 70 years to facilitate
inclusive community building among a diverse and collegial mix of
professional and academic geographers, students, and community members.
By collaborating with REP, MAD hopes to join an even larger community of
scholars, activists, and engaged citizens who—working together—hold
Baltimore and its residents as catalyzing leaders for a national
dialogue on race, ethnicity, and place.
Under the current political climate, it is critical that scholars
from a broad range of perspectives develop transformative research to
foster inclusive policy, advocacy, and action. The 2021 XI REP/MAD
Conference in Baltimore aims to create common ground across multiple
ways of studying race and ethnicity and to broaden participation of
scholars in geography and related social and spatial sciences whose
research furthers scholarship relating to race, ethnicity, and place.
