Specialty Group Meeting South Asia
of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Geographie (DGfG)
- 2nd and 3rd of February 2024 at the University of Augsburg -
The 14th Annual Meeting of the Arbeitskreis Südasien of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Geographie (DGfG) will take place on February 2nd and 3rd 2024 at the Center for Climate Resilience, on campus of the University of Augsburg.
The annual meeting provides a space to exchange about ongoing projects, research results and methodological challenges of geographers and scientists from neighbouring disciplines working on South Asia. It will serve as a platform for intradisciplinary and interdisciplinary exchange about current developments in the diverse and rapidly changing South Asian region. The event aims to address scholars as well as practitioners and teachers, whose focus of work and interest lies in South Asia. Contributions from Physical Geography and Human Geography are equally welcome, so are contributions from neighbouring disciplines.
The annual meeting’s lingua franca is English. It is primarily planned as an in-person event, but for those facing travel difficulties or other restrictions, we will enable online participation through a limited hybrid format.
The programme includes 5 panels with 12 speakers, allowing for a deep-dive into topics related to the South Asian context.
Prof. Dr. Anindita Datta (IGU Gender chair, University of Delhi) is the distinguished in-person keynote speaker and Prof. Dr. Ejnavarzala Haribabu (University of Hyderabad) holds an online keynote speech.
The meeting's complete program is available on the website of the Specialty Group (http://www.geographien-suedasiens.de) as well as in the Rundbrief Geographie (Vol. 306).
The Call for Papers is already closed, but we welcome your registration for participation without presentation here.
We will collect a contribution to expenses of 30€ at the meeting (reduced price 15€) , in exchange for a confirmation of participation.
