99th Association of American Geographers Annual Meeting
March 4-8, 2003, New Orleans, LA
=====================================
Critical GIS and September 11:
Security, Territory, and Politics
=====================================

Organizers: Jeremy Crampton and Mei-Po Kwan

After the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on
September 11, 2001, unprecedented effort and financial resources have been
committed to address the issue of protecting U.S. citizens and assets. The
proposed Department of Homeland Security, if created, represents the most
significant transformation of the U.S. government in over a half-century.
While "homeland security" is now an overwhelming issue in the U.S., and GIS
and geospatial technologies have been assigned a crucial role in the
agenda,
"homeland security" has remained a largely unexamined and unproblematized
discourse.

The AAG session(s) we seek to organize will examine issues pertinent to the
politics of security and GIS from critical perspectives broadly conceived.
The
session(s) will focus explicitly on legacies of September 11 and critical
GIS,
including (but not exclusively) the following themes:

1. Security
2. Territory
3. Politics

Please see the following web page for a more detailed description of
these themes.

Please submit an abstract of no more than 250 words in AAG format to the
organizers by August 2, 2002:
