AAG 2015 - 2015 AAG Annual Meeting: The Geography of Inequality in Asia

AAG Annual Meeting, Chicago, April 21-25, 2015
Organizers: Yehua Dennis Wei and Sanjoy Chakravorty
Submission Procedure: Please submit your participation/registration fee and abstracts online
through the AAG's website (www.aag.org). We would appreciate it if you would send us your
PIN and title at your earliest time, at least two weeks before the AAG official deadline, to give us
time to finalize and register the sessions.
Publication Plan I: A Spatial Issue in Applied Geography
Guest Editor: Yehua Dennis Wei
We will edit a special issue entitled “Spatiality of Regional Inequality” in Applied Geography
(Impact Factor 2012: 2.779, Ranked: 5th in Geography, >600 submissions in 2013). Please keep
in mind that all papers have to go through a rigorous blind review process; Applied Geography is
highly selective and only the most appropriate papers can be published.
We hope the proposed special issue becomes an influential project for Applied Geography and
well cited. We prefer theoretically guided, quantitatively oriented, empirical research. Each
paper should consider the problem-oriented and application-oriented focus of the journal. The
authors will complement deep and state-of-the-art conceptual and empirical analysis, and discuss
the practical consequences of their findings as well as ways to translate them into policy
measures.
We would like authors to address questions such as the following: what are the nature and
trajectory of spatial inequality? What does the spatiality of regional inequality mean? How to
measure the roles of geography, contexts and institutions? What are the interactive effects of
scale? How to use developments in GIS and big data to advance our knowledge of inequality?
