Description
All international members are invited to attend a virtual networking event from both the U.S. and the overseas AAG community. Young geographers (graduate students and early career academics) are especially welcome to join us and get to know new peers in a supportive and welcoming virtual space. We encourage you to bring your pets, partners, family members, colleagues, friends; and change your Zoom background related to your research fields, office buildings, or hometowns. We would like to get to know you!
The event will be structured as follows:
Introduction (5 min)
