This award supports the 2023 Race, Ethnicity, and Place Conference (REP) and its pre-conference workshop. The biennial REP meetings bring together diverse groups of scholars to encourage and facilitate research in geography and related scientific disciplines. Through a focus on mapping as a tool for empowerment, especially among racial, ethnic, and other minorities, the 2023 REP pre-conference workshop examines justice and equity issues within the discipline. In addition to social science research and teaching, the conference and workshop seek to promote greater participation of historically underrepresented groups within the discipline of geography and to support the professional development of minority graduate students as well as early and mid-career faculty through mentoring, networking and program development.The REP 2023 conference advances research and teaching of mapping perspectives by recruiting a cadre of new scholars—geography graduate students and early and mid-career faculty—from a broad range of institutions (community colleges, liberal arts colleges, and research universities). The conference focuses especially on the role of mapping in representing and promoting diverse voices, experiences, and knowledge within the classroom, in research endeavors and through public pedagogy. Conference participants examine how cartography may be used in curricula, research and in the public realm as an important tool in recruiting students, future scholars, and other professionals from traditionally marginalized groups and to advance geography as an inclusive discipline that seeks to advance equity. The conference and workshop are vehicles for strengthening and disseminating knowledge regarding alternative research methods, to increase and strengthen resources available to underrepresented scholars, to support graduate students and to aid faculty to be better mentors. The conference integrates new participants through active recruitment and engagement, by designing strategic panels and keynotes to attract a broader audience, and by offering a pre-conference mentoring and professional-development workshop for early-career faculty and advanced graduate students, especially from underrepresented groups. Responding to national workforce needs, the conferences advances goals of training early-career scholars in cartographic skills and geospatial analysis. The conference and workshop also facilitate new collaborative relationships and sustainable networks across educational institutions, governments, and civil society organizations.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项支持2023年种族，民族和地方会议（REP）及其会前研讨会。两年一次的REP会议汇集了不同的学者团体，以鼓励和促进地理和相关科学学科的研究。通过重点关注地图作为赋权工具，特别是在种族、民族和其他少数群体中，2023年REP会前研讨会审查了该学科内的正义和公平问题。除了社会科学研究和教学外，会议和讲习班还寻求促进历史上代表性不足的群体更多地参与地理学科，并通过指导支持少数民族研究生以及职业早期和中期教师的专业发展，网络和程序开发。REP 2023会议通过招募新学者的干部来推进测绘视角的研究和教学-地理研究生和早期和中期职业教师-来自广泛的机构（社区学院，文科学院和研究型大学）。 会议特别侧重于映射在代表和促进不同的声音，经验和知识在课堂上，在研究工作和通过公共教育学的作用。与会者研究了如何在课程，研究和公共领域中使用地图学作为招募学生，未来学者和传统边缘化群体的其他专业人员的重要工具，并将地理学作为一门旨在促进公平的包容性学科。会议和讲习班是加强和传播有关替代研究方法的知识，增加和加强代表性不足的学者可用的资源，支持研究生和帮助教师成为更好的导师的工具。会议通过积极招聘和参与，通过设计战略小组和主题演讲吸引更广泛的受众，并通过为早期职业教师和高级研究生，特别是代表性不足的群体提供会前指导和专业发展研讨会，整合了新的参与者。为了满足国家劳动力的需求，会议提出了培训制图技能和地理空间分析方面的早期职业学者的目标。会议和研讨会还促进了教育机构、政府和民间社会组织之间新的合作关系和可持续网络。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
