All students, faculty, governmental, non-governmental, and independent
researchers who work in northern regions are invited to present in a
special session on "Northern Geographies" at this year's Annual General
Meeting of the Canadian Association of Geographers. Presentations may
reflect any type of geographic or related research that is conducted in
northern Canada or one of the other circumpolar nations.

This will be an interdisciplinary session that promotes dialogue among
northern researchers who may not otherwise find themselves in the same
session. It is hoped that increased interaction among various
sub-disciplines of geography can provide new and creative approaches to
northern research, while fostering networking and potential
collaborative opportunities.

The organizers are currently looking for expressions of interest to
present in this session. The abstracts will not be due until February
2005, however, the organizers would like to know the level of interest
in this session by Wednesday, 15 December 2004 for scheduling purposes.
Please send either Gita Laidler (gita.laidler [at] utoronto.ca) or Heather
Castleden (heather.castleden [at] ualberta.ca) an e-mail indicating your area
of research and a brief description of your proposed paper.
