Workshop on Economic Geography and Its Potential Contributions to Understanding Processes of Globalization & Social and Environmental Change, Wash., DC, Spring, 19

拟议的活动是一个研讨会，重点关注经济地理学的未来及其对理解全球化进程和社会经济变化的潜在贡献。该研讨会将汇集来自地理学、经济学和区域科学的学者，讨论制定一个新的研究议程，该议程将建立在这一分支学科的传统优势之上，同时也将涉及更多的当代问题和观点。除了研究议程发展和弥合经济地理学的“旧”和“新”领域的目标之外，一个独特的目标是考虑和讨论方法问题和教学在推进这一领域的探索中的作用。该项目将产生一份会议报告，该报告将广泛分发给适当的学者社区。

Pennsylvania State U. The proposed activity is a workshop which focuses upon the topic of the future of economic geography and its potential contribution to understanding the processes of globalization and social and economic change. The workshop will bring together scholars from geography, economics and regional science to discuss the formulation of a new research agenda that builds upon the traditional strengths of this sub-discipline yet speaks to more contemporary concerns and views. In addition to the goals of research agenda development and bridging the `old` and `new` realms of economic geography, a distinct objective is to consider and discuss the matter of methodologies and the role of teaching in advancing this area of inquiry. The project will result in a conference report that will be broadly distributed to appropriate communities of scholars.
