Dear EGSG members: Just a reminder - please send in your nominations for the 2013 Roepke lecture to norma.rant...@gmail.com by MONDAY, August 15th (please see the message below).
Thanks, Norma ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Norma Rantisi <norma.rant...@gmail.com> Date: Thu, Jul 28, 2011 at 12:07 PM Subject: Roepke Lecture - nominations for 2013 To: AAG Economic Geography Speciality Group < ECONOMICGEOGRAPHY-L@listserv.uconn.edu> Dear EGSG members: Nominations are being sought for the Roepke Lecture speaker for AAG 2013 in Los Angeles. As we discussed at the EGSG business meeting, the nomination committee is finding that eight months is becoming increasingly inadequate lead time to attract notable speakers. As a result, we have decided to experiment with seeking nominations two years in advance. The Roepke Lecture is an opportunity to honor and showcase scholars with significant contributions in the field of economic geography. For the list of past lectures, please see: http://www.geography.uconn.edu/aag-econ/roepke.html <http://www.geography.uconn.edu/aag-econ/roepke.html>In addition to the past speakers listed on the website, Trevor Barnes (Professor of Geography at the University of British Columbia) delivered the 2011 Roepke Lecture in Seattle (the website will soon be updated to reflect this). And Dani Rodrik (Rafiq Hariri Professor of International Political Economy at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University) will deliver the 2012 Roepke Lecture in New York. The Roepke Lecture is co-sponsored by Economic Geography, the journal, AAG EGSG, and the University of Illinois. Economic Geography publishes the manuscripts based on the lecture. Please send your nominations directly to me at norma.rant...@gmail.com by August 15.
