Crises: Causes, Dimensions, Reactions - 6th International Conference of Critical Geography

Following very successful conferences at Vancouver (1997), Taegu (2000), Békéscsaba (2002), Mexico City (2005) and Mumbai (2007) we are thrilled to announce that the 6th International Conference of Critical Geography will be held this year at Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany. The focus will be on critical and emancipatory discussion aimed at radical explanation and change, organized in (but not confined to) 10 themes. The format is designed to enhance debate beyond the confines of national traditions and academic hierarchies.

Themes:

• Financial, economic and fiscal crisis
• Urban crisis
• Ecological crisis
• Subjectivities – in crisis?
• Oppositional struggles worldwide
• Geopolitics, Biopolitics and the Critical Spaces of the Political
• Mobilities in crisis
• Universities / geography in crisis
• Babel-crisis – Critique through translation?
• Europe and its Others
